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

Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.

How does it work in Troon?

We confirm the visit price and the cost of the battery unit, safety edge or photocells. The visit is booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

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 Troon: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Troon and across KA10, 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.

Do you charge more for Troon than other towns in Ayrshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Troon as for anywhere else we cover in Ayrshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Troon?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Troon. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Troon?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Troon visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do I still need the manual override if I have a battery backup?

Yes. A battery unit covers a limited number of cycles, and it can run down during a long power cut or as the battery ages. Keep the override handle somewhere you can find it in the dark, and make sure everyone who uses the garage knows where it is and how it works.

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.
