Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ilford 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Service and repair visits in Ilford 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.
