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

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.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.

How does it work in Kettering?

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 Kettering

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 Kettering: questions

Do you cover Kettering?

Yes. Kettering is part of the area we cover in Northamptonshire, including NN16, NN15 and NN14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How much is a visit in Kettering?

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 Kettering as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Kettering and across NN16, NN15 and NN14, 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.

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.

Does a smart receiver work with any electric roller door?

Not always. Some control boxes accept a smart receiver directly, while older or less common systems need a replacement receiver first. It also needs a dependable Wi-Fi signal at the garage. Tell us what control box you have and we'll confirm what's compatible, and the price, before the visit is booked.
