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

A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
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.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Lisburn: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Lisburn and across BT27, BT28 and BT17, 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.

Do you cover Lisburn?

Do you charge more for Lisburn than other towns in County Antrim?

No. Guide prices are the same for Lisburn as for anywhere else we cover in County Antrim. 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.

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

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 Lisburn visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
