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

A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
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.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Partick: questions

Do you cover Partick?

Yes. Partick is part of the area we cover in Greater Glasgow, including G11, G12 and G51. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Partick and across G11, G12 and G51, 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.

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

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

Do you charge more for Partick than other towns in Greater Glasgow?

No. Guide prices are the same for Partick as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Glasgow. 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 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.

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.
