How we look after doors in Helensburgh

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Helensburgh are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

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.
