What should I know about safety edge and photocell repairs in Newark-on-Trent?

Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
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.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Newark-on-Trent: questions

Can I get a price for Newark-on-Trent without anyone visiting?

How much is a visit in Newark-on-Trent?

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 Newark-on-Trent as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Newark-on-Trent than other towns in Nottinghamshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newark-on-Trent as for anywhere else we cover in Nottinghamshire. 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.

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.

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.
