What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Market Harborough?

Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.
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.
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.

How does it work in Market Harborough?

After you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer and electrician availability. On the day, the door is installed, force tested and handed over with its paperwork.

Rules that apply in Market Harborough

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 Market Harborough: questions

What do you check at a survey in LE16?

At a survey in LE16 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.

Is the survey in Market Harborough 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.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Market Harborough?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Do you charge more for Market Harborough than other towns in Leicestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Market Harborough as for anywhere else we cover in Leicestershire. 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 open an electric roller door during a power cut?

Yes. Most electric roller doors have a manual override, normally an internal crank or winding handle that turns the barrel by hand. If the garage has no other entrance, ask about an external override. A battery backup unit is another option: it keeps the door running for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.

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.
