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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

Rules that apply in Evesham

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 Evesham: questions

Do you charge more for Evesham than other towns in Worcestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Evesham as for anywhere else we cover in Worcestershire. 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.

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 Evesham 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.

Do you cover Evesham?

Yes. Evesham is part of the area we cover in Worcestershire, including WR11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How many times will a battery backup open the door?

It depends on the unit, the motor and the size and weight of the door. A battery backup is designed for a limited number of cycles in a power cut, not for running the door for days. If you need the door after the battery runs down, use the manual override as the manufacturer's instructions describe.

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.
