Options that matter on site
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Cheshunt 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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 Cheshunt: your questions
Do our powered doors in Cheshunt 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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Cheshunt 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.
Can you force-test our doors in Cheshunt?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
