What to specify
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Denton?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Greater Manchester 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.

Frequently asked questions
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 Denton 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 Denton 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.
