What our engineers check and fix

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.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Powered door rules that apply in Ormskirk

Ormskirk is in England, 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.
