Quick answer
Busy doors in Enfield (EN2) that close automatically need reliable detection. A full-height light curtain stops the door before it touches anyone, with a safety edge on the bottom rail as back-up.

What we fit in Enfield
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Powered door rules that apply in Enfield
Enfield is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
Our door at our Enfield site has a bypassed safety edge. What should we do?
Stop using the door under power until the safety device is working, or use it on hold-to-run only if the risk assessment allows. We can replace the edge or fit alternative detection and re-test the door.
Do our powered doors in Enfield need safety upgrades?
It depends on how they are controlled and used. Doors that close automatically or on a single press typically need edges and photocells or light curtains. A survey and force test shows whether your doors meet current expectations.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Greater London?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Greater London, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
