What we fit in Maesteg
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- 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 Maesteg?
In Wales, 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Maesteg
Do our powered doors in Maesteg 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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Maesteg?
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.
Our door at our Maesteg 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.
