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

Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

Rules that apply in England

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. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

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.
