Emergency Security Door Repair at Trinity Court, Oxford

We were asked to attend an emergency call out to look at the main entrance security door at Trinity Court, Oxford.

On initial inspection we found that the door was not closing correctly and locking causing a security issue as the building was unlocked. This would also mean that the access control system had failed and the alarm could not be set as it also relied on the door being closed correctly.

Upon further inspection we found that the reason for the door not closing was that the top drive arm was badly worn.

As we carry common spare parts on our vans, we could replace the arm immediately and return the door to its full working order.

This required removal of the door to allow us to replace the part, so we carried out a risk assessment and deployed our yellow men barriers to designate a safe working area.
