What the visit covers in Greater London

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

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.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Greater London

Greater London is in England, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Greater London?

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.
