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

Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
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.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.

Rules that apply in Hawarden

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Hawarden: questions

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

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 Hawarden visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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 Hawarden. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Hawarden and across CH5, 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.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

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.
