What the visit covers in Bicester

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bicester are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Bicester are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
