How we look after doors in County Antrim
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in County Antrim?
In Northern Ireland, the business in control of the premises must keep doors and gates safe under the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and maintain work equipment under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999, with HSENI as the regulator. The installer who supplies or motorises a door hands over the conformity documents and user instructions; CE marking remains the relevant mark for machinery here.
Access, phasing and timing
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.
