- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Stanley 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.
Planning the work around your site
Service and repair visits in Stanley are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
