Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
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.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.

Rules that apply in Kidsgrove

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 Kidsgrove: questions

Do you charge more for Kidsgrove than other towns in Staffordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Kidsgrove as for anywhere else we cover in Staffordshire. 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 get a price for Kidsgrove 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Kidsgrove?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Kidsgrove and across ST7 and ST6, 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.

Do you cover Kidsgrove?

Yes. Kidsgrove is part of the area we cover in Staffordshire, including ST7 and ST6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
