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

Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.

How does it work in Tonypandy?

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 Tonypandy

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 Wales 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 Tonypandy: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Tonypandy and across CF40, CF39 and CF41, 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.

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 get a price for Tonypandy without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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

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

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.

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.
