How we look after doors in Wakefield

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
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.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
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 Wakefield?

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 Wakefield 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.
