How we look after doors in Lowestoft

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Powered door rules that apply in Lowestoft

Lowestoft is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Frequently asked questions

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Lowestoft?

If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.

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

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.

How soon can a door motor in Lowestoft be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
