Options for door safety upgrades in Corby

Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.

Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.

Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Corby 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

Sites in and around Corby vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
