How we look after doors in Maldon

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Typical scopes of work

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Maldon 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.
