How we look after doors in Islington

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
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.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

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

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

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.
