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

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.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.

Rules that apply in Leeds

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 Leeds: 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 message you a photo of my garage in Leeds?

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Leeds and across LS1, LS2 and LS3, 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.

Do you cover Leeds?

Yes. Leeds is part of the area we cover in West Yorkshire, including LS1, LS2 and LS3. 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.

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.
