Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hyde 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Hyde vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Door safety upgrades in Hyde: your questions
Our door at our Hyde 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.
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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Hyde?
Most upgrades take a few hours per door, including re-testing. If a new control panel is needed, it may take longer. We plan work to keep doors out of use for as short a time as possible.
