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

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

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Yateley: questions

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

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 Yateley visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Yateley 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 cover Yateley?

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.
