What should I know about safety edge and photocell repairs in Inverurie?

Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.

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.

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Inverurie: questions

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

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

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.

How much is a visit in Inverurie?

Prices for safety edge and photocell repairs start from £99 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 Inverurie as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Inverurie visit date is confirmed in writing.

How do I test my safety edge and photocells?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your door. In general, the test checks that the door stops or reverses when the safety edge meets an obstruction while closing, and that the door won't close while the photocell beam is broken. Keep people and pets clear while testing, and repeat the test monthly.

Can I bypass the photocells to get the door shut?

No. Bypassing, bridging or taping over a safety device removes the protection that stops the door closing onto a person, pet or car. If the door won't close, switch it off at the isolator, keep the area clear and request a visit. Tell us if you're concerned about security when you get in touch.
