What the visit covers in Golborne
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

- 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 Golborne 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
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.
