What the visit covers in Hamilton

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Hamilton 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

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.
