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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
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.

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 Cumbernauld: questions

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

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

How much is a visit in Cumbernauld?

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 Cumbernauld as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Cumbernauld?

Yes. Cumbernauld is part of the area we cover in Lanarkshire, including G67 and G68. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I get a price for Cumbernauld 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 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.
