What we fit in Nottinghamshire

Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.

What this work can involve

Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
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 Nottinghamshire 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in the East Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Door safety upgrades in Nottinghamshire: your questions

Our door at our Nottinghamshire 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.

How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Nottinghamshire?

Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in Nottinghamshire.

Do our powered doors in Nottinghamshire 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.
