Options that matter on site
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Morecambe 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Morecambe vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Our door at our Morecambe 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.
Do our powered doors in Morecambe 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.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Lancashire?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Lancashire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
