What to specify
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.

- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Brierley Hill 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.
