Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Lytham St Annes 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
