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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Rutherglen: questions

How much is a visit in Rutherglen?

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 Rutherglen as elsewhere we cover.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Rutherglen and across G73, G40 and G42, 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.

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

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

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 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.
