Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

What this work can involve

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.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Powered door rules that apply in Wallasey

Wallasey is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

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.
