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

Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
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.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Montrose: questions

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

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

Do you charge more for Montrose than other towns in Dundee and Angus?

No. Guide prices are the same for Montrose as for anywhere else we cover in Dundee and Angus. 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.

Can I get a price for Montrose 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.

How much is a visit in Montrose?

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 Montrose as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
