What's included

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
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.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Powered door rules that apply in Buxton

Buxton 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.

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.
