What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- 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.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Thornton-Cleveleys 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
