Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.

- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Leigh 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Leigh
Our door at our Leigh 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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Leigh?
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.
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.
