The short version
Busy doors in Coalville (LE67) that close automatically need reliable detection. A full-height light curtain stops the door before it touches anyone, with a safety edge on the bottom rail as back-up.

What to specify
- 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.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
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.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Powered door rules that apply in Coalville
Coalville 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.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Leicestershire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
