How we look after doors in the Scottish Borders

- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

Typical scopes of work
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- 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 Scotland
Industrial doors in the Scottish Borders 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
Service and repair visits in the Scottish Borders 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.
