What our engineers check and fix

Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
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.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

What this work can involve

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bathgate?

In Scotland, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

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.
