Powered doors and shutters are workplace machinery, and they need checking to stay safe. NW Automatic Doors inspects and tests automatic doors, shutters and gates across North Wales — safety sensors, edges, opening forces and controls — and leaves you clear written records, helping you keep your site safe and in line with current safety guidance.
What a safety inspection covers
- Safety sensors, photocells and safety edges tested
- Opening and closing forces checked and adjusted
- Hold-open times and speeds set safely
- Controls, switches and manual releases checked
- Signs of wear or damage spotted before they fail
- Clear written records for your safety file
Why door safety checks matter
An automatic door that closes too hard, fails to detect someone, or has a worn safety edge is a risk to staff and the public — and to the business responsible for it. Regular inspection keeps the door working within current safety guidance, reduces the chance of an incident, and gives you the documentation to show the door is properly maintained.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
How often should automatic doors be safety inspected?
Current safety guidance recommends powered doors are serviced and safety-checked regularly — typically once or twice a year, and more often for busy, high-traffic doors such as supermarket or hospital entrances. We’ll recommend the right frequency for each door on your site.
Do you provide records after an inspection?
Yes. After every inspection we leave clear written records of what was checked, tested and adjusted, so you have an evidence trail for your safety and compliance file if an insurer, auditor or health-and-safety officer ever asks.
What happens if a door fails a safety check?
We tell you straight away, make the door safe, and give you a clear price to put it right — no work goes ahead without your say-so. Where a fault makes a door unsafe to use, we’ll advise how to keep the entrance secure until it’s repaired.
Do you inspect doors you don’t maintain?
Yes. We can safety-check automatic doors, shutters and gates from any manufacturer, including Record and Gilgen, whether or not we installed or service them — a useful independent check, and a good pairing with a free second opinion on any repair quote you hold.
