Quick answer
Older door control panels may not accept modern monitored safety devices. At premises in Bognor Regis, we can replace them where needed, adding inverter control and better fault diagnostics in the same visit.

What we fit in Bognor Regis
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bognor Regis?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Bognor Regis 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.

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