Door safety upgrades in Hanworth

The short version

Older door control panels may not accept modern monitored safety devices. At premises in Hanworth, we can replace them where needed, adding inverter control and better fault diagnostics in the same visit.

Town: Hanworth
Postcode district: TW13
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.

Powered door rules that apply in Hanworth

Hanworth 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
