Options for door safety upgrades in Warwickshire
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- 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.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
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.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Warwickshire?
In England, 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.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Door safety upgrades in Warwickshire: your questions
Can you force-test our doors in Warwickshire?
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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Warwickshire 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.
Do our powered doors in Warwickshire 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.
