What to specify
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Pudsey?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
