How we look after doors in Powys
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- 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 Powys
Powys is in Wales, 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.
