What to specify
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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 Wales
Industrial doors in West Glamorgan 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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 West Glamorgan
Do our powered doors in West Glamorgan 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.
Our door at our West Glamorgan 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 much does a door safety upgrade cost in West Glamorgan?
Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in West Glamorgan.
