How we look after doors in Hexham

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

What this work can involve

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Hexham 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.
