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

Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
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.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.

On the day, the receiver is recoded and new handsets or keypads are paired and tested. Any other parts the door needs are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Exeter

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 Exeter: questions

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.

Do you charge more for Exeter than other towns in Devon?

No. Guide prices are the same for Exeter as for anywhere else we cover in Devon. 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 message you a photo of my garage in Exeter?

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

How much is a visit in Exeter?

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 Exeter as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
