In short
Busy doors in Greenock (PA15) that close automatically need reliable detection. A full-height light curtain stops the door before it touches anyone, with a safety edge on the bottom rail as back-up.

- Area
- Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire
- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Powered door rules that apply in Greenock
Greenock 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.
Keeping your site running during the work

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Do our powered doors in Greenock 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.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
Our door at our Greenock 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.
