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

Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.

How does it work in Highbury?

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 Highbury

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 Highbury: questions

Can I get a price for Highbury 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 Highbury?

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

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

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 Highbury visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Highbury and across N5, N7 and N1, 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 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.

Does a smart receiver work with any electric roller door?

Not always. Some control boxes accept a smart receiver directly, while older or less common systems need a replacement receiver first. It also needs a dependable Wi-Fi signal at the garage. Tell us what control box you have and we'll confirm what's compatible, and the price, before the visit is booked.
