The short version
Is a powered door at your Keighley site missing safety devices, or are they damaged or bypassed? We bring older doors up to date with monitored safety edges, photocells, light curtains and fall protection.

What to specify
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Keighley?
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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Keighley
How long does a safety upgrade take in Keighley?
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.
Do our powered doors in Keighley 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.
Can you force-test our doors in Keighley?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
