Options for door safety upgrades in Bearsden
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Powered door rules that apply in Bearsden
Bearsden is in Scotland, 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Bearsden 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.
