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

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.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

How does it work in Portadown?

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 Portadown: questions

How much is a visit in Portadown?

Prices for safety edge and photocell repairs start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Portadown as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

Do you cover Portadown?

Yes. Portadown is part of the area we cover in County Armagh, including BT62, BT63 and BT64. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Portadown visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
