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

A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.

How does it work in Edinburgh?

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.

Covering Edinburgh and nearby

Across Edinburgh's EH postcode districts we survey, supply and fit roller garage doors, and repair existing ones, to the same process.

Nearby, we also take enquiries from Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Penicuik.

Rules that apply in Edinburgh

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 Edinburgh: questions

Can I get a price for Edinburgh 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.

How much is a visit in Edinburgh?

Prices for remote control and keypad upgrades start from £108 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Edinburgh as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh is part of the area we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including EH2, EH3 and EH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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

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.

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.
