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

The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.

How does it work in Spalding?

The engineer tests the circuit and replaces the faulty device, then tests the door. Any further parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Spalding

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 Spalding: questions

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

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 Spalding visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Spalding and across PE11, 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 Spalding?

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.

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.
