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

A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
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.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.

Rules that apply in Wigston

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 Wigston: questions

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Wigston 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.

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

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

Can I get a price for Wigston 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 cover Wigston?

Yes. Wigston is part of the area we cover in Leicestershire, including LE18, LE8 and LE2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
