What we fit in Halifax

Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
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.

Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Halifax 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about door safety upgrades

Our door at our Halifax 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 you upgrade doors from other installers across West Yorkshire?

Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across West Yorkshire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.

Will a safety upgrade at our Halifax 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.
