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

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 wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Questions about remote control and keypad upgrades in Dorset

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

How do I book a visit in Dorset?

Tell us what the door is doing using the form on this page, by phone or on WhatsApp. We confirm the visit price before anyone comes out, then confirm the date in writing.

Which towns do you cover in Dorset?

We cover Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Dorset online.

Will recoding stop a lost fob from working?

Yes. Recoding clears the receiver's memory of paired handsets and then adds back only the ones you still have, plus any new ones. The lost or stolen fob is no longer recognised, so it can't open the door. It's sensible to do this after moving house as well, when you can't be sure how many handsets exist.

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.
