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

Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

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 Stonehaven: questions

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

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

Can I get a price for Stonehaven 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 cover Stonehaven?

Yes. Stonehaven is part of the area we cover in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including AB39. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Stonehaven visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can photocells be added to a door that doesn't have them?

Often, if the control box has a connection for them. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether photocells can be added, and the price, before booking. Our battery backup and safety upgrades page covers adding devices.

Do you repair safety devices on any make of roller door?

Yes. We repair and replace safety edges and photocells on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided compatible parts are available for the control box. We don't work on sectional or up-and-over doors. If a compatible part isn't available, we'll explain the options before anything is booked.
