What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Ripley

Ripley 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
