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

Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.

Rules that apply in Perth

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. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Perth: questions

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

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

Can I get a price for Perth 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.

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

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 Perth visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.

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.
