Town: Stirling
Postcode district: FK8
Area: Forth Valley
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Powered door rules that apply in Stirling

Stirling 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.
