What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
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.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Sandhurst?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
