What the visit covers in Canning Town
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canning 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Canning Town?
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 Canning Town 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.
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Canning Town?
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.
