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

Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the box, as a smart receiver needs an electric door with power.
Keep your remote fobs as well as the app, because they operate the door directly even when the internet is down.
Think about whether a Wi-Fi extender or mesh point may be needed if the garage is detached or behind thick walls.
Ask which features the smart receiver offers, such as showing whether the door is open, before you order it.

Rules that apply in Canterbury

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 Canterbury: questions

How much do smart roller garage doors cost in Canterbury?

Our guide price for smart roller garage doors is from £1,290 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Canterbury as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. Canterbury is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT1 and CT2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Canterbury 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.

What do you check at a survey in CT1?

At a survey in CT1 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

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.

What happens to a smart garage door if the Wi-Fi goes down?

The app may stop responding until the Wi-Fi or internet connection comes back, but the door itself keeps working. Your remote fobs talk to the door directly, and any keypad or key switch works as normal. The door doesn't rely on the internet to open and close, only to take instructions from the app.
