What the visit covers in Eastleigh
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Eastleigh?
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.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Eastleigh 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.

How soon can a door motor in Eastleigh be replaced?
