What should I know about smart roller garage doors in Dorchester?

Only close the door from the app when you know the opening is clear, and keep testing the safety devices monthly.
Consider battery backup alongside smart control, so the door still works for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.
Think about whether a Wi-Fi extender or mesh point may be needed if the garage is detached or behind thick walls.
Keep your remote fobs as well as the app, because they operate the door directly even when the internet is down.

Rules that apply in Dorchester

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Smart roller garage doors in Dorchester: questions

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

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Dorchester?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Dorchester address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Dorchester?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Is the survey in Dorchester really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can several people control the door from their phones?

Usually, yes, though how access is shared depends on the app and receiver your door uses. It's worth keeping a list of who has access, and removing anyone who no longer needs it, in the same way you'd keep track of keys and fobs. Ask about sharing at the survey if it matters to you.

Does a smart garage door work with voice assistants?

Some smart receivers can link to voice assistants or home automation systems, but it varies from one receiver to another. If that matters to you, tell us at the survey and we'll confirm what the receiver for your door supports before you order. Think carefully before allowing voice commands to open the door, for security.
