What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Crowborough

Crowborough 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.
