What we fit in Liverpool
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Liverpool 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.
How the work is organised
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
