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

Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.

How does it work in Leicester?

On the day, the receiver is recoded and new handsets or keypads are paired and tested. Any other parts the door needs are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Leicester

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 Leicester: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Leicester and across LE1, LE4 and LE5, 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.

Can I get a price for Leicester 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.

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

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

Do you charge more for Leicester than other towns in Leicestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Leicester as for anywhere else we cover in Leicestershire. 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.

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.

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.
