What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Examples of work we can quote for

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Powered door rules that apply in Carmarthen

Carmarthen is in Wales, 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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Carmarthen?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

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

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.

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

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.
