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

After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Cumbernauld: questions

How much is a visit in Cumbernauld?

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 Cumbernauld as elsewhere we cover.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Cumbernauld?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Cumbernauld and across G67 and G68, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

Do you cover Cumbernauld?

Yes. Cumbernauld is part of the area we cover in Lanarkshire, including G67 and G68. 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 Cumbernauld?

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 Cumbernauld visit date is confirmed 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.

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.
