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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Irvinestown: questions

Can I get a price for Irvinestown 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 Irvinestown?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Irvinestown and across BT94, 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.

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

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 Irvinestown visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

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.

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.
