What the visit covers in Kilmarnock

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Kilmarnock 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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
