What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Daventry 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.

Planning the work around your site

Service and repair visits in Daventry are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
