What our engineers check and fix
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
What this work can involve
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Camden Town?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Planning the work around your site
