What the visit covers in Oxfordshire
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- 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.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Powered door rules that apply in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire 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.
How the work is organised
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.
