What we fit in Woking
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
What this work can involve
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Powered door rules that apply in Woking
Woking is in England, 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
Sites in and around Woking 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.

Door safety upgrades in Woking: your questions
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Surrey?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Surrey, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Woking?
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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Woking premises include paperwork?
Yes. We record the devices fitted, the force test results and any changes to the control panel, and update the door's risk assessment, giving you written evidence that the door was checked and upgraded.
