Options that matter on site
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
What this work can involve
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Gwynedd?
In Wales, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Door safety upgrades in Gwynedd: your questions
Will a safety upgrade at our Gwynedd 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.
Our door at our Gwynedd 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 Wales?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Wales, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
