What should I know about remote control and keypad upgrades in Aberdeen?

Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.

Rules that apply in Aberdeen

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. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Aberdeen: questions

Can I get a price for Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen?

Yes. Aberdeen is part of the area we cover in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including AB11, AB25 and AB10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How much is a visit in Aberdeen?

Prices for remote control and keypad upgrades start from £108 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 Aberdeen as elsewhere we cover.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Aberdeen?

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

Where is a wireless keypad fitted?

A wireless keypad is usually mounted on the wall outside, close to the garage door and at a comfortable height, so you can open the door without a handset. It communicates with the receiver without a cable to the control box. You choose the code, and you can change it later if you need to.

Can you add a remote to a manual roller door?

Not on its own. A manual door has no motor or receiver for a remote to talk to, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. To operate it by remote, the door first needs a manual-to-electric conversion, which is only possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.
