After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Cambuslang: questions

How much is a visit in Cambuslang?

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 Cambuslang as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Cambuslang?

Yes. Cambuslang is part of the area we cover in Lanarkshire, including G72, G73 and G32. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

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

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

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.

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.
