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

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.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

How does it work in Banbridge?

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.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Banbridge: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Banbridge and across BT32, 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 Banbridge than other towns in County Down?

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

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

Do you cover Banbridge?

Yes. Banbridge is part of the area we cover in County Down, including BT32. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
