How we look after doors in Eltham

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

What this work can involve

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Eltham?

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.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Eltham are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
