What the visit covers in Bridgnorth

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

What this work can involve

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

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bridgnorth 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
