What to specify
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Renfrew?
In Scotland, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Renfrew vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
