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

Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
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.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.

We confirm the visit price and the cost of the handsets, keypad or receiver you've chosen. The visit is then booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

Rules that apply in Oban

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. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Oban: questions

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

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 Oban visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

Do you charge more for Oban?

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

Can I get a price for Oban 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.

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.

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.
