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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

Rules that apply in Scotland

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. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Questions about battery backup and safety upgrades in Perth and Kinross

Are guide prices the same across Perth and Kinross?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Perth and Kinross. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

Which towns do you cover in Perth and Kinross?

We cover Perth and Kinross, including Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Kinross. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Perth and Kinross online.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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.

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.
