| Some Roller Garage Door Advice | |
Be Careful What You Buy!!
The electric roller shutter garage door is indisputably the garage door that has seen the greatest growth in popularity; consequently the number of manufacturers of roller shutters has also seen a marked increase, with many vying for a share of the UK market. Unfortunately there appears to be quite an insurgence of rogue manufacturers that are willing to compromise safety legislation - and in fact blatantly ignore it - in a bid to drive prices down to compete in the market.
Many low priced aluminium insulated roller garage doors sold in the UK are in fact illegal. The most common form of safety being offered on many roller doors are various types of infra red beams putting a light beam across the door either in one or several places. These are not compliant and not safe! The single light beam only prevents the roller door closing if the light beam is broken and many items can obstruct a garage opening without necessarily blocking this beam so the door will still operate. Multiple beams also do not comply and many reflector infra red beam systems can fail in bright direct sunlight during summer months causing great frustration.
Think of a small child rolling around, playing, or a sleeping cat or dog basking underneath this beam in the sunshine - the door will still operate!!
There have been a number of fatal accidents involving children in the last couple of years in the gate, blinds and shutters industry.
The DHF (Door and Hardware Federation) are anxious to avoid any similar occurrences in the roller door industry and are therefore strongly recommending that potential buyers of roller shutters read carefully before making any decisions.
Purchase with Confidence
Can you tick all of the points below?
Has the company that you are buying from been established for at least 5 years? Remember - under the Sale of Goods Act your contract is with your supplier, not the manufacturer. Do make sure that the company you purchase from is established and not likely to disappear or cease trading. If you have a problem with your roller door you will not have legal rights with the manufacturer.
Does the roller door have a safety edge detection system on the bottom of the door? Do not accept any statement that safety beams performs the same function - they do not!
Many companies are selling insulated roller doors at seemingly very low prices and mostly they are not compliant with UK regulations simply because they use infra red beams only lowering the cost of the door.
Is the roller door fitted with an anti-fall back system? (size dependant) in case of internal failure on any part of the suspension or balancing system?
Will it be CE marked to signify compliance with relevant legislation accompanied by documents proving this?
Has it been wind load tested as per BSEN12424 & BSEN124440?
Does it possess sufficient protection to prevent entrapment when the door height is less that 2500mm?
If you have ticked all of the above the roller door in question should be compliant with current safety legislation.
Good Luck
