What to specify
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Farnham 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Farnham
Our door at our Farnham 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.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Farnham?
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.
Can you force-test our doors in Farnham?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
