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

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.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.

Covering Farnham and nearby

We survey and fit roller garage doors across Farnham, including GU9, GU10 and GU11, as part of our coverage in Surrey. Farnham lies around 10 miles from Guildford.

Rules that apply in Farnham

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 Farnham: questions

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.

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

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 Farnham visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Farnham and across GU9, GU10 and GU11, 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.

Can I get a price for Farnham 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.

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.

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.
