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

Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
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.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.

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 Newry: questions

Can I get a price for Newry 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 Newry?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Newry and across BT35, 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 cover Newry?

Yes. Newry is part of the area we cover in County Down, including BT35. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Newry than other towns in County Down?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newry 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.

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.
