What our engineers check and fix

Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

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 Borehamwood 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
