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

Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Llandrindod Wells: 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.

Can I get a price for Llandrindod Wells 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.

How much is a visit in Llandrindod Wells?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Llandrindod Wells are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.

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.
