Door safety upgrades in Warwick

The short version

Every safety upgrade in Warwick starts with a free survey and force test of the door as it stands, followed by a written fixed price for the devices we recommend before any work starts.

Town: Warwick
Postcode district: CV34
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Warwick?

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.

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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades

Do our powered doors in Warwick 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.

Can you force-test our doors in Warwick?

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 Warwick 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.
