Garage door motor replacement and upgrades in March: common questions
Is it the motor or the door?
A motor that strains, stops or reverses is often struggling with an unbalanced door, a broken spring or a sticking roller. We check the door first, because a new motor on a faulty door will fail again.
What about adding a motor to a manual door?
Converting a manual sectional door to powered operation is possible if the door is suitable and in good order. The converted door must be checked and set up to the powered door safety requirements, with photocells where needed.

Safety points for March customers
If a spring has broken, a cable has come off or the door hangs crooked, stop using it, keep people and pets clear and do not try to force it open or closed. Leave the operator unplugged until the engineer has checked it.
A garage door fitted with an operator counts as a machine under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, whether it is at home or at work. Whoever puts the complete powered door into service must check it against BS EN 12453, including measuring closing forces with a calibrated meter, and issue a Declaration of Conformity and apply UKCA or CE marking (CE marking in Northern Ireland). That includes motorising an existing manual door, which is why a conversion is always set up and tested as a new powered door.
Operators normally run from a switched fused spur; adding one to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, but a new circuit falls under Part P.
