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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Blairgowrie: questions

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.

Do you charge more for Blairgowrie than other towns in Perth and Kinross?

No. Guide prices are the same for Blairgowrie as for anywhere else we cover in Perth and Kinross. 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.

Can I get a price for Blairgowrie 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.

Do you cover Blairgowrie?

Yes. Blairgowrie is part of the area we cover in Perth and Kinross, including PH10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
