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

Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
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.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.

How does it work in Plymouth?

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.

Covering Plymouth and nearby

Across Plymouth's PL postcode districts we survey, supply and fit roller garage doors, and repair existing ones, to the same process. Plymouth is about 36 miles from Exeter.

Rules that apply in Plymouth

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 Plymouth: questions

How much is a visit in Plymouth?

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 Plymouth as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Plymouth?

Yes. Plymouth is part of the area we cover in Devon, including PL4, PL1 and PL3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Plymouth 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.

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

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 Plymouth visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I buy a remote online and code it myself?

Sometimes, but only if the handset is compatible with your receiver, and many aren't. Rolling-code systems need the right handset type and the correct pairing steps from the motor maker. If you'd rather not risk buying the wrong one, tell us the make of your control box and we'll supply matched handsets and pair them during the visit.

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.
