Safety edge and photocell repairs in Armagh: questions

Can I get a price for Armagh 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 Armagh?

Yes. Armagh is part of the area we cover in County Armagh, including BT61. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Armagh and across BT61, 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.

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.

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.

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.
