- Manual-to-electric conversions
- Most existing roller doors can be fitted with a motor.
- Correct motor sizing
- Motors matched to door weight and number of cycles per day.
- Controls
- Push buttons, key switches, remotes and integration with access control.
- Safety devices
- Safety edges and photo beams that stop or reverse the door if something is in the way.
Load shedding and power failures
Every motor we fit has a manual override so the door can still be opened during a power failure. Ask us about battery backup and UPS options for critical doors.
Motor repairs
Doors that hum but do not move, overrun their limits or stop part-way usually have a fixable fault in the motor, limit switches or control board.
