Commercial Motorized Door Safety

Motorized commercial and industrial doors improve efficiency, but they also introduce entrapment hazards that must be addressed at the design stage. Miller Edge provides safeguarding solutions that help architects and specifiers meet code requirements and design safer facilities.

UL 325 Requirements

Since August 2010, ANSI/UL 325 has required monitored entrapment protection devices for motorized commercial doors using momentary contact controls. The most common solutions are sensing edges for direct-contact detection and photo optics—including light curtains—for non-contact protection.

Safeguarding Methods

To support compliance across door types, Miller Edge offers:

  • Sensing Edges– Direct-contact entrapment protection in a variety of profiles and mounting methods to match the application.
  • Photo Optics– Reliable thru-beam, retro-reflective, and light curtains for non-contact obstruction detection.
  • Wireless Edge Systems– Enable communication with the operator without hard-wiring sensing edges.
  • Motion Sensors– Provide activation and presence detection for safe access control.

Applications

The sections that follow are organized by door type to align with architectural specifications:

  • Rolling Countertop Door & Grille Safety
  • Sectional Door Safety
  • Rolling Steel Door Safety
  • Bi-Fold & Hangar Door Safety

Rolling Countertop Door & Grille Safety
