What our engineers check and fix

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

Typical scopes of work

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Oadby

Oadby 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
