What's included

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.

What this work can involve

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Leicester?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

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.
