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

A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
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.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Clydebank: questions

Do you cover Clydebank?

Yes. Clydebank is part of the area we cover in Dunbartonshire and Argyll, including G81, G15 and G60. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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

Can I get a price for Clydebank 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.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

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.

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.
