What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Dunstable?

Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening, since the motor's control box needs a power supply close by.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
Work out how many remote fobs the drivers in your household need, so the right number of extra handsets can be listed in the quote.

Rules that apply in Dunstable

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.

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.

Electric roller garage doors in Dunstable: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Dunstable?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Dunstable garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Dunstable really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

What do you check at a survey in LU6?

At a survey in LU6 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

Can you remove my old garage door in Dunstable?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Dunstable address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

Can I add more remotes or a keypad later?

Yes. When you order a new door, you can add extra handsets and a wireless keypad at the prices in your quote. On an existing door, adding or recoding remotes, or changing the receiver, is done on a visit whose price is agreed before we come out. Keep a note of how many handsets you have, so any lost ones can be dealt with.

Is an electric roller door safe around children and pets?

Treat it like any powered machine. Keep remote fobs out of children's reach, don't let anyone walk or play under the door while it's moving, and only operate it when you can see the opening is clear. The safety devices are a backstop, not a substitute for watching the door, so test them monthly.
