What should I know about battery backup and safety upgrades in Fraserburgh?

Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Fraserburgh: questions

Do you cover Fraserburgh?

Yes. Fraserburgh is part of the area we cover in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including AB43. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How much is a visit in Fraserburgh?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Fraserburgh as elsewhere we cover.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Fraserburgh?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Fraserburgh and across AB43, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

Can I get a price for Fraserburgh without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

How many times will a battery backup open the door?

It depends on the unit, the motor and the size and weight of the door. A battery backup is designed for a limited number of cycles in a power cut, not for running the door for days. If you need the door after the battery runs down, use the manual override as the manufacturer's instructions describe.

Can a battery backup be fitted to a manual roller door?

No. A manual door has no motor or control box for a battery unit to power, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. If you'd like powered operation, a manual-to-electric conversion may be possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.
