How we look after doors in Maryhill

Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Typical scopes of work

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Maryhill

Maryhill 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.

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.
