What we fit in Radcliffe

Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
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.
Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.

What this work can involve

Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.

Powered door rules that apply in Radcliffe

Radcliffe is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
