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

Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.

How does it work in Southampton?

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 Southampton

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 Southampton: questions

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

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 Southampton visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Southampton and across SO15, SO14 and SO17, 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.

Do you charge more for Southampton than other towns in Hampshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Southampton as for anywhere else we cover in Hampshire. 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.

How much is a visit in Southampton?

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 Southampton as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
