Busy doors in Sale (M33) that close automatically need reliable detection. A full-height light curtain stops the door before it touches anyone, with a safety edge on the bottom rail as back-up.

What to specify
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Sale 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Sale
Will a safety upgrade at our Sale premises include paperwork?
Yes. We record the devices fitted, the force test results and any changes to the control panel, and update the door's risk assessment, giving you written evidence that the door was checked and upgraded.
Do our powered doors in Sale 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.
Can you force-test our doors in Sale?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
