How we look after doors in Leicestershire
- 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.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Leicestershire 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
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.
