The short version
Older door control panels may not accept modern monitored safety devices. At premises in Mansfield, we can replace them where needed, adding inverter control and better fault diagnostics in the same visit.

What to specify
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
Typical scopes of work
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Mansfield?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Our door at our Mansfield 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.
Can you force-test our doors in Mansfield?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Nottinghamshire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
