How we look after doors in Catford

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Catford are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
