Options that matter on site
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Port Talbot 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.
Planning the work around your site
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
