What the visit covers in Kirkintilloch

Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Typical scopes of work

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kirkintilloch?

In Scotland, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Kirkintilloch

Will our door in Kirkintilloch be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Kirkintilloch?

If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Kirkintilloch?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.
