What we fit in Newark-on-Trent
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Newark-on-Trent 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Door safety upgrades in Newark-on-Trent: your questions
Do our powered doors in Newark-on-Trent 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 Newark-on-Trent?
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 Newark-on-Trent 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.
