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

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.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
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 Worksop?

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 Worksop: questions

Can I get a price for Worksop without anyone visiting?

How much is a visit in Worksop?

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 Worksop as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

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.
