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

Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
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.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.

How does it work in Willenhall?

The engineer tests the circuit and replaces the faulty device, then tests the door. Any further parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Willenhall: questions

Do you cover Willenhall?

Yes. Willenhall is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including WV13, WV12 and WV11. 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 Willenhall?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Willenhall and across WV13, WV12 and WV11, 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 I get a price for Willenhall 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.

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

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 Willenhall. 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.

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.
