How we look after doors in Wigston

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Wigston 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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Wigston?

If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Wigston?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Wigston?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.
