What to specify
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- 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.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Droitwich 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
For busy sites in Worcestershire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
Can you force-test our doors in Droitwich?
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.
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Worcestershire?
Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Worcestershire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.
Our door at our Droitwich 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.
