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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

Rules that apply in Scunthorpe

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Scunthorpe: questions

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

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 Scunthorpe visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you charge more for Scunthorpe than other towns in Lincolnshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Scunthorpe as for anywhere else we cover in Lincolnshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

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.

Do you cover Scunthorpe?

Yes. Scunthorpe is part of the area we cover in Lincolnshire, including DN15, DN16 and DN17. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
