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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Banstead: questions

Do you charge more for Banstead than other towns in Surrey?

No. Guide prices are the same for Banstead as for anywhere else we cover in Surrey. 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 cover Banstead?

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

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

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

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.

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.
