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

Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Questions about remote control and keypad upgrades in Tyne and Wear

Are guide prices the same across Tyne and Wear?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Tyne and Wear. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

Which towns do you cover in Tyne and Wear?

We cover Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Tyne and Wear online.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. 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.

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.
