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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.

Rules that apply in Carmarthen

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 Carmarthen: questions

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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Carmarthen and across SA31, 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.

How much is a visit in Carmarthen?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Carmarthen as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

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.

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.
