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

Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Lockerbie: questions

Can I get a price for Lockerbie 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.

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Lockerbie and across DG11, 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.

Do you charge more for Lockerbie than other towns in Dumfries and Galloway?

No. Guide prices are the same for Lockerbie as for anywhere else we cover in Dumfries and Galloway. 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 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.
