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

Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.

How does it work in Lichfield?

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 Lichfield

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 Lichfield: questions

Do you cover Lichfield?

Yes. Lichfield is part of the area we cover in Staffordshire, including WS13 and WS14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Lichfield 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 message you a photo of my garage in Lichfield?

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

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Lichfield?

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 Lichfield visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
