What to specify
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
What this work can involve
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Barry 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Barry 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.
