How we look after doors in Godalming

Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Godalming

Godalming 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.
