What we fit in Great Yarmouth
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- 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.
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.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Great Yarmouth 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
