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

A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
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.

How does it work in Kingswood?

On the day, the upgrade is fitted and the door is tested. If anything else needs attention, the parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Kingswood

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 England 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 Kingswood: questions

Do you charge more for Kingswood than other towns in Gloucestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Kingswood as for anywhere else we cover in Gloucestershire. 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.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Kingswood?

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 Kingswood visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
