Door safety upgrades in Morpeth

The short version

Options that matter on site

Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
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.
Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Morpeth

Morpeth 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Morpeth can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
