How we look after doors in Limavady

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
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.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.

What this work can involve

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
