What the visit covers in Kettering

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
