Options that matter on site
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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 Bordon?
In England, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Questions from businesses in Bordon
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Bordon?
Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in Bordon.
Do our powered doors in Bordon need safety upgrades?

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.
