What our engineers check and fix
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- 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.
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.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Forth Valley 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Questions from businesses in Forth Valley
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Forth Valley?
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.
Will our door in Forth Valley be tested after the motor is changed?
Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
Do you replace motors on any make of door across Scotland?
We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Scotland, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.
