What our engineers check and fix

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

What this work can involve

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
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 Barnsley 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.
