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

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.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Tunbridge Wells: questions

Can I get a price for Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. Tunbridge Wells is part of the area we cover in Kent, including TN1, TN3 and TN4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Tunbridge Wells?

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 Tunbridge Wells visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Tunbridge Wells?

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

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.

Why does my roller door reverse when nothing is in the way?

A door that reverses on its own while closing is often reacting to a safety device that thinks there's an obstruction. Dirty or misaligned photocells, a damaged safety edge, a loose cable or limits that have drifted can all cause it. Clean the photocell lenses and check the beam is clear, then request a visit if it continues.
