How we look after doors in Derry
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Derry?
In Northern Ireland, the business in control of the premises must keep doors and gates safe under the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and maintain work equipment under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999, with HSENI as the regulator. The installer who supplies or motorises a door hands over the conformity documents and user instructions; CE marking remains the relevant mark for machinery here.
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.
