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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
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.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.

How does it work in Craigavon?

The engineer tests the circuit and replaces the faulty device, then tests the door. Any further parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Craigavon: questions

Can I get a price for Craigavon 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Craigavon?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Craigavon and across BT64, BT65 and BT66, 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.

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

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