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

The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
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.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

Rules that apply in Bordon

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 Bordon: questions

Can I get a price for Bordon 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.

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

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

Do you cover Bordon?

Yes. Bordon is part of the area we cover in Hampshire, including GU35. 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 Bordon?

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 Bordon as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
