Gaffer for
garage door installers.

A sectional door with an operator on it is a machine, and TS 011 expects the force testing to be done and recorded. Most installers do the test and lose the paper. Gaffer keeps the force and safety test record on the door, emails the customer the handover pack as a PDF, and brings you back for the annual service instead of the fault callout. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 12 trade documents garage door installers actually use already in the account.

Where two names look alike they are different documents — a notification is not the certificate that follows it, and two schemes covering the same work each want their own form. If you think one is missing, or that one of these is redundant, say so and we will change the pack.
