What's included
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Norfolk?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
