Options that matter on site
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Leominster 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Our door at our Leominster 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 Leominster 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 you upgrade doors from other installers across Herefordshire?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Herefordshire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
