How we look after doors in Andover
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- 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.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- 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 Andover 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
Service and repair visits in Andover 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.
