What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
What this work can involve
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Powered door rules that apply in East Kilbride
East Kilbride 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.
