How we look after doors in Bridgwater

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. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

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

In England, 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

Service and repair visits in Bridgwater 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.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

Will our door in Bridgwater 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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Bridgwater?

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.
