How we look after doors in Coventry

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

What this work can involve

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Coventry are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

How soon can a door motor in Coventry 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 Coventry?

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.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Coventry?

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.
