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

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.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Newry: questions

Can I get a price for Newry 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 charge more for Newry than other towns in County Down?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newry as for anywhere else we cover in County Down. 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 Newry?

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 Newry 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.
