What should I know about remote control and keypad upgrades in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.

Rules that apply in Scotland

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. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Questions about remote control and keypad upgrades in the Highlands, Moray and Islands

Which towns do you cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

We cover the Highlands, Moray and Islands, including Inverness, Elgin, Fort William and Nairn. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in the Highlands, Moray and Islands online.

Are guide prices the same across the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

Yes for the door and visit prices. Travel to Fort William, Stornoway, Kirkwall, Thurso, Wick, Lerwick and Portree is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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.
