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

We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
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 Paisley?

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.

Rules that apply in Paisley

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.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Paisley: 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 Paisley than other towns in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde?

No. Guide prices are the same for Paisley as for anywhere else we cover in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. 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.

Do you cover Paisley?

Yes. Paisley is part of the area we cover in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, including PA2, PA1 and PA3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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

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.

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.
