Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bloxwich 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
For busy sites in the West Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across the West Midlands?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across the West Midlands, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Bloxwich?
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.
Our door at our Bloxwich 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.
