What to specify
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Fareham?
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.
Planning the work around your site
