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

Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
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.

How does it work in Reading?

We confirm the visit price and the cost of the handsets, keypad or receiver you've chosen. The visit is then booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

Rules that apply in Reading

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.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Reading: questions

Do you cover Reading?

Yes. Reading is part of the area we cover in Berkshire, including RG1, RG4 and RG30. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Reading?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Reading visit date is confirmed in writing.

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 Reading?

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

Does a smart receiver work with any electric roller door?

Not always. Some control boxes accept a smart receiver directly, while older or less common systems need a replacement receiver first. It also needs a dependable Wi-Fi signal at the garage. Tell us what control box you have and we'll confirm what's compatible, and the price, before the visit is booked.

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.
