How we look after doors in Chippenham

Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

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 burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Powered door rules that apply in Chippenham

Chippenham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
