How we look after doors in Truro

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Powered door rules that apply in Truro

Truro is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Truro: your questions

How soon can a door motor in Truro be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Truro?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.

Will our door in Truro be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
