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

We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.

How does it work in Ammanford?

We confirm the visit price and the cost of the battery unit, safety edge or photocells. The visit is booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

Rules that apply in Ammanford

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Ammanford: questions

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Ammanford and across SA18, 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 Ammanford?

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 Ammanford visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you cover Ammanford?

Yes. Ammanford is part of the area we cover in Dyfed, including SA18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
