- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Muswell Hill are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
