What our engineers check and fix

Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
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.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

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

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Lincoln?

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.

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

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.

How soon can a door motor in Lincoln be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
