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

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.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.

How does it work in Mold?

On the day, the upgrade is fitted and the door is tested. If anything else needs attention, the parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Covering Mold and nearby

Mold is within the area we cover in Clwyd. Homes in CH7 get the same survey, quote and fitting process as everywhere else we work. Mold is about 10 miles from Wrexham.

We also cover Buckley (2 miles), Deeside (5 miles) and Hawarden (5 miles).

Rules that apply in Mold

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 Mold: questions

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

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 Mold visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Mold 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.

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 much is a visit in Mold?

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 Mold as elsewhere we cover.

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.
