How we look after doors in Bath

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
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 England

Industrial doors in Bath 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

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.
