How we look after doors in Dunfermline

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Typical scopes of work

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Powered door rules that apply in Dunfermline

Dunfermline is in Scotland, 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.

How the work is organised

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
