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

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.
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.

How does it work in Bloxwich?

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.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Bloxwich: questions

Do you charge more for Bloxwich than other towns in the West Midlands?

No. Guide prices are the same for Bloxwich as for anywhere else we cover in the West Midlands. 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 Bloxwich 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.

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

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 Bloxwich visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you cover Bloxwich?

Yes. Bloxwich is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including WS3, WS2 and WS4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
