How we look after doors in Aldridge

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Aldridge?

In England, 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.

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.
