Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Peterhead?
In Scotland, 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.

Your questions about industrial door repairs
Do you repair fire shutters across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
Yes. We repair fire shutters across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, using parts and methods that keep to the manufacturer's specification so the shutter continues to perform as tested, and we drop-test it after the repair to prove it closes.
Can you repair our door in Peterhead if you did not fit it?
Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter, sectional, high-speed, sliding and fire door, whoever installed them. If original parts are no longer made, we look for compatible alternatives before suggesting anything bigger.
What should we do if a spring breaks on our Peterhead door?
Stop using the door, keep people clear of the area beneath it and do not try to open it with the motor. Call for a repair; springs store energy and should only be handled by a trained engineer.
