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

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.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

How does it work in Magherafelt?

We confirm the visit price and the likely part before anything is booked. The visit date depends on engineer availability and is confirmed in writing.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Magherafelt: questions

How much is a visit in Magherafelt?

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 Magherafelt as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Magherafelt visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Magherafelt 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 Magherafelt?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Magherafelt and across BT45, 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.

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.

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.
