What we fit in Yateley

Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.

Examples of work we can quote for

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 Yateley?

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

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.
