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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
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.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Questions about safety edge and photocell repairs in Dunbartonshire and Argyll

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Which towns do you cover in Dunbartonshire and Argyll?

We cover Dunbartonshire and Argyll, including Bearsden, Clydebank, Vale of Leven and Bishopbriggs. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Dunbartonshire and Argyll online.

Are guide prices the same across Dunbartonshire and Argyll?

Yes for the door and visit prices. Travel to Oban is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything.

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.
