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

Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
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.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.

How does it work in Brixton?

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 Brixton

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 Brixton: questions

Can I get a price for Brixton 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.

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Brixton and across SW2, SW9 and SW8, 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 Brixton?

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 Brixton visit date is confirmed 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.

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.
