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

The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
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.

Powered door safety

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Kinross: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Kinross?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Kinross visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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

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

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Kinross 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 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.

Can a battery backup be fitted to a manual roller door?

No. A manual door has no motor or control box for a battery unit to power, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. If you'd like powered operation, a manual-to-electric conversion may be possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.
