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

A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.

Rules that apply in Lerwick

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.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Lerwick: questions

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

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 Lerwick visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Lerwick 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.

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes. Lerwick is part of the area we cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands, including ZE1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Lerwick?

Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Lerwick is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.

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.
