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

A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Falkirk: questions

How much is a visit in Falkirk?

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 Falkirk as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Falkirk than other towns in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Falkirk as for anywhere else we cover in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. 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.

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

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 Falkirk visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Falkirk?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Falkirk and across FK1, FK2 and FK5, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

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.

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.
