Rules that apply in Thurso

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 Thurso: questions

How much is a visit in Thurso?

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 Thurso 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 Thurso?

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

Can I get a price for Thurso 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 charge more for Thurso?

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

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.

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.
