What should I know about remote control and keypad upgrades in Stornoway?
- 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.
- A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
- A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.

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 Stornoway: questions
How much is a visit in Stornoway?
Prices for remote control and keypad upgrades start from £108 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Stornoway are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Stornoway?
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 Stornoway. 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 Stornoway?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Stornoway and across HS1, 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.
Will you fix the door on the first visit?
A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.
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.
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.
