How we look after doors in Newton-le-Willows

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

What this work can involve

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Newton-le-Willows 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

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.
