Typical scopes of work
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Newtownabbey?
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.
