What to specify

Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.

Powered door rules that apply in Ramsgate

Ramsgate is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Ramsgate can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Door safety upgrades in Ramsgate: your questions

Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Kent?
