What to specify
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
What this work can involve
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Powered door rules that apply in Uxbridge
Uxbridge 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
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
