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

After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.

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 CE marking, which is the marking that applies to machinery placed on the market in Northern Ireland.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Northern Ireland, but electrical work must still meet BS 7671 and be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Armagh: questions

How much is a visit in Armagh?

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 Armagh as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

Can I get a price for Armagh 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Armagh and across BT61, 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 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 safety devices be added to an older electric door?

Usually, if a compatible safety edge or photocells are available for the control box. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether it can be done, and the price, before booking the visit.
