What's included
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stalybridge?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
