Options for door safety upgrades in Bury
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- 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.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bury 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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Greater Manchester?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Greater Manchester, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
Do our powered doors in Bury 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.
Our door at our Bury 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.
