How we look after doors in Ballymena

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Jobs we can carry out

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
