Door safety upgrades in Wembley

In short

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

Town: Wembley
Postcode district: HA0
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.

What this work can involve

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

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Wembley?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

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.
