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

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.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.

How does it work in Dunfermline?

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.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Dunfermline: questions

Can I get a price for Dunfermline 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 cover Dunfermline?

Yes. Dunfermline is part of the area we cover in Fife, including KY12 and KY11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How much is a visit in Dunfermline?

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 Dunfermline as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Dunfermline than other towns in Fife?

No. Guide prices are the same for Dunfermline as for anywhere else we cover in Fife. 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.

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.

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.
