What we fit in Inverness

Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.

Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
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 Inverness?

In Scotland, 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Door safety upgrades in Inverness: your questions

How long does a safety upgrade take in Inverness?

Most upgrades take a few hours per door, including re-testing. If a new control panel is needed, it may take longer. We plan work to keep doors out of use for as short a time as possible.

Do our powered doors in Inverness 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 Inverness 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.
