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

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.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.

Rules that apply in Portslade

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 Portslade: questions

Can I get a price for Portslade 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.

Do you charge more for Portslade than other towns in East Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Portslade as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. 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 message you a photo of my garage in Portslade?

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

Do you cover Portslade?

Yes. Portslade is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including BN41, BN42 and BN3. 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.

Will recoding stop a lost fob from working?

Yes. Recoding clears the receiver's memory of paired handsets and then adds back only the ones you still have, plus any new ones. The lost or stolen fob is no longer recognised, so it can't open the door. It's sensible to do this after moving house as well, when you can't be sure how many handsets exist.
