Options that matter on site
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- 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.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Gorseinon 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Gorseinon 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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Will a safety upgrade at our Gorseinon 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.
Our door at our Gorseinon 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 Gorseinon?
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.
