What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Ashton-in-Makerfield 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
