What the visit covers in Elgin

Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Powered door rules that apply in Elgin

Elgin is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

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.
