What's included
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Worcestershire?
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
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.

Questions from businesses in Worcestershire
Will our door in Worcestershire 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.
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Worcestershire?
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.
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Worcestershire?
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.
