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

Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.

How does it work in Ballymena?

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 Ballymena

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 CE marking, which is the marking that applies to machinery placed on the market in Northern Ireland.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Northern Ireland, but electrical work must still meet BS 7671 and be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Ballymena: questions

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

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

Can I get a price for Ballymena 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Ballymena?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Ballymena and across BT42 and BT43, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

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

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 Ballymena visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
