What the visit covers in Caernarfon
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- 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.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- 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 Wales
Industrial doors in Caernarfon 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.
How the work is organised
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.
