Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Typical scopes of work

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Renfrew 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

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

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.

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Renfrew?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.
