What we fit in Rushden
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Rushden
Rushden is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Do our powered doors in Rushden 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 Rushden?
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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Rushden premises include paperwork?
Yes. We record the devices fitted, the force test results and any changes to the control panel, and update the door's risk assessment, giving you written evidence that the door was checked and upgraded.
