What to specify
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Jobs we can carry out
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- 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 Bebington 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Door safety upgrades in Bebington: your questions
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Bebington?
Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in Bebington.
Do our powered doors in Bebington 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.

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.
