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

A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.

Rules that apply in Cleckheaton

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. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Cleckheaton: questions

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Cleckheaton?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Cleckheaton and across BD19, BD11 and BD12, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

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

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

Do you charge more for Cleckheaton than other towns in West Yorkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Cleckheaton as for anywhere else we cover in West Yorkshire. 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 Cleckheaton 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 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.

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.
