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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
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.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Crieff: questions

Can I get a price for Crieff 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.

Do you charge more for Crieff than other towns in Perth and Kinross?

No. Guide prices are the same for Crieff as for anywhere else we cover in Perth and Kinross. 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 Crieff?

Yes. Crieff is part of the area we cover in Perth and Kinross, including PH7 and PH5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

Can photocells be added to a door that doesn't have them?

Often, if the control box has a connection for them. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether photocells can be added, and the price, before booking. Our battery backup and safety upgrades page covers adding devices.
