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

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.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.

How does it work in Keighley?

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 Keighley

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 Keighley: questions

How much is a visit in Keighley?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Keighley as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Keighley?

Yes. Keighley is part of the area we cover in West Yorkshire, including BD21, BD22 and BD20. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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 Keighley 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.

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.

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.
