How we look after doors in Woking

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Woking 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
