What's included

Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.

Typical scopes of work

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Rugby 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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can a door motor in Rugby 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.

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

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 Rugby 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.
