Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
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.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

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 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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bolton 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.

Planning the work around your site

Service and repair visits in Bolton 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.
