What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Gravesend?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
