What should I know about safety edge and photocell repairs in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?

Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

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.
