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

A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.

Rules that apply in Christchurch

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 Christchurch: questions

Do you charge more for Christchurch than other towns in Dorset?

No. Guide prices are the same for Christchurch as for anywhere else we cover in Dorset. 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.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Christchurch?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Christchurch and across BH23, BH6 and BH7, 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.

How much is a visit in Christchurch?

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 Christchurch as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Christchurch?

Yes. Christchurch is part of the area we cover in Dorset, including BH23, BH6 and BH7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
