What our engineers check and fix
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in West Glamorgan?
In Wales, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Keeping your site running during the work

Frequently asked questions
Will our door in West Glamorgan 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.
Is the motor really the problem with our door in West Glamorgan?
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 West Glamorgan 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.
