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

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

How does it work in Loughton?

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 Loughton

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 Loughton: questions

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Loughton?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Loughton and across IG10, IG9 and IG7, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

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

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 Loughton visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

Can I get a price for Loughton 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.

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.

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.
