What to specify
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Basingstoke 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
Most installations in Basingstoke can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Door safety upgrades in Basingstoke: your questions
Our door at our Basingstoke 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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Basingstoke 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 Basingstoke 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.
