Industrial door motor replacement in Penicuik

In short

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Penicuik 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: Penicuik
Postcode district: EH26
Area: Edinburgh and the Lothians
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

What this work can involve

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.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Penicuik 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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
