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

Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Covering Mold and nearby

Mold is within the area we cover in Clwyd. Homes in CH7 get the same survey, quote and fitting process as everywhere else we work. Mold is about 10 miles from Wrexham.

Rules that apply in Mold

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 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 Mold: questions

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

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 Mold visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Mold 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 cover Mold?

Yes. Mold is part of the area we cover in Clwyd, including CH7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
