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

After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

Powered door safety

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Leatherhead: questions

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

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 Leatherhead visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

Do you cover Leatherhead?

Yes. Leatherhead is part of the area we cover in Surrey, including KT22, KT21 and KT23. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Leatherhead and across KT22, KT21 and KT23, 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.

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.

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.
