Remote control and keypad upgrades in Stranraer: questions

Do you charge more for Stranraer?

Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Stranraer is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.

How much is a visit in Stranraer?

Prices for remote control and keypad upgrades start from £108 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Stranraer are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.

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

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