How we look after doors in Grantham

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.

Typical scopes of work

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

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Service and repair visits in Grantham are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
