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

Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Batley: questions

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

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 Batley visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you charge more for Batley than other towns in West Yorkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Batley as for anywhere else we cover in West Yorkshire. 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Batley?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Batley and across WF17, WF13 and WF12, 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 much is a visit in Batley?

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 Batley as elsewhere we cover.

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.

Can I bypass the photocells to get the door shut?

No. Bypassing, bridging or taping over a safety device removes the protection that stops the door closing onto a person, pet or car. If the door won't close, switch it off at the isolator, keep the area clear and request a visit. Tell us if you're concerned about security when you get in touch.
