How we look after doors in Sutton-in-Ashfield
- Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
What this work can involve
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
