Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.

Rules that apply in Ammanford

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 Wales 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 Ammanford: questions

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.

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

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

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

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 Ammanford visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you charge more for Ammanford than other towns in Dyfed?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ammanford as for anywhere else we cover in Dyfed. 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.

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.

Can you add a remote to a manual roller door?

Not on its own. A manual door has no motor or receiver for a remote to talk to, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. To operate it by remote, the door first needs a manual-to-electric conversion, which is only possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.
