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

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.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.

Rules that apply in Wickford

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 Wickford: questions

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

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

Can I get a price for Wickford 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.

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

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 Wickford visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Wickford and across SS12, SS11 and SS13, 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.

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.
