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

Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.

How does it work in Yate?

On the day, the receiver is recoded and new handsets or keypads are paired and tested. Any other parts the door needs are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Yate

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 Yate: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Yate and across BS37 and BS36, 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.

Can I get a price for Yate 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 Yate?

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 Yate as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Yate than other towns in Gloucestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Yate as for anywhere else we cover in Gloucestershire. 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 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.
