What we fit in Gosport
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Gosport?
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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Door safety upgrades in Gosport: your questions
Will a safety upgrade at our Gosport 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 Gosport 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.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Hampshire?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Hampshire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
