What we fit in Cambuslang

Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.

What this work can involve

Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Cambuslang?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
