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

Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
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. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Llandudno: questions

Do you charge more for Llandudno than other towns in Clwyd?

No. Guide prices are the same for Llandudno as for anywhere else we cover in Clwyd. 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 get a price for Llandudno 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.

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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Llandudno and across LL30 and LL31, 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.

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.

Why does my roller door reverse when nothing is in the way?

A door that reverses on its own while closing is often reacting to a safety device that thinks there's an obstruction. Dirty or misaligned photocells, a damaged safety edge, a loose cable or limits that have drifted can all cause it. Clean the photocell lenses and check the beam is clear, then request a visit if it continues.
