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

Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
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.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.

How does it work in Motherwell?

We confirm the visit price and the cost of the handsets, keypad or receiver you've chosen. The visit is then booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

Rules that apply in Motherwell

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 Motherwell: questions

Do you charge more for Motherwell than other towns in Lanarkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Motherwell as for anywhere else we cover in Lanarkshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Motherwell?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Motherwell and across ML1, ML4 and ML3, 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.

How much is a visit in Motherwell?

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 Motherwell as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Motherwell visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
