Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Kenilworth site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

What our engineers check and fix
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Powered door rules that apply in Kenilworth
Kenilworth 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Kenilworth?
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.
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Kenilworth?
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.
Will our door in Kenilworth 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.
