How we look after doors in Northumberland
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Powered door rules that apply in Northumberland
Northumberland 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.
