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

Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.

How does it work in Merthyr Tydfil?

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 Merthyr Tydfil

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 Wales 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 Merthyr Tydfil: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Merthyr Tydfil?

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 Merthyr Tydfil visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Merthyr Tydfil?

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 Merthyr Tydfil as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Merthyr Tydfil than other towns in Mid Glamorgan?

No. Guide prices are the same for Merthyr Tydfil as for anywhere else we cover in Mid Glamorgan. 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.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

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 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.
