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

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.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Questions about safety edge and photocell repairs in Northumberland

How do I book a visit in Northumberland?

Tell us what the door is doing using the form on this page, by phone or on WhatsApp. We confirm the visit price before anyone comes out, then confirm the date in writing. Travel to Berwick-upon-Tweed is priced individually and confirmed in writing before booking.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

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

Are guide prices the same across Northumberland?

Yes for the door and visit prices. Travel to Berwick-upon-Tweed is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything.

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.
