What the visit covers in Bradford

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
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.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bradford 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.

Planning the work around your site

Service and repair visits in Bradford 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.

Frequently asked questions

Will our door in Bradford 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 Bradford?

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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Bradford?

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.
