Industrial door motor replacement in Dalkeith

At a glance

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Dalkeith site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

Town: Dalkeith
Postcode district: EH22
Area: Edinburgh and the Lothians
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
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 Scotland

Industrial doors in Dalkeith 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

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.

Questions from businesses in Dalkeith

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

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 Dalkeith?

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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Dalkeith?

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.
