What our engineers check and fix

Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Rochdale 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
