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

Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.

Rules that apply in Maidstone

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 Maidstone: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Maidstone?

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

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

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 Maidstone visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Maidstone 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.

How much is a visit in Maidstone?

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 Maidstone 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.

Can you add a remote to a manual roller door?

Not on its own. A manual door has no motor or receiver for a remote to talk to, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. To operate it by remote, the door first needs a manual-to-electric conversion, which is only possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.
