How we look after doors in Exmouth

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

What this work can involve

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Exmouth 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Exmouth

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

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 Exmouth 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.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Exmouth?

If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.
