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

Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Craigavon: questions

Do you charge more for Craigavon than other towns in County Armagh?

No. Guide prices are the same for Craigavon as for anywhere else we cover in County Armagh. 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 Craigavon?

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

Do you cover Craigavon?

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

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 Craigavon visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

How often should I test the safety edge and photocells?

Test them monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door. The aim is to confirm that the door stops or reverses when the safety edge meets an obstruction, and won't close while the photocell beam is broken. If either test fails, don't keep using the door until it has been checked, and request a visit.
