How we look after doors in Sutton

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
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.

What this work can involve

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Sutton

Sutton is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

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.
