Automation questions from Crumlin
Q.How noisy is an electric door?
Belt-drive ceiling operators are noticeably quieter than chain, which matters where there is a bedroom above the Crumlin garage.
Q.My remote has stopped working, is it the motor?
Usually not. It is most often a battery, a lost pairing or a blocked photocell. We diagnose that on a call-out rather than selling you an operator.
Q.What does automating an existing door cost in Crumlin?
From £395 fitted for a straightforward operator on a sound, well-balanced door. Conversions on old up-and-over gear cost more because of the arm kit and any servicing needed first.
Q.Can any garage door be automated?
Most can, but the door must be balanced and running freely first. Automating a binding door in Crumlin just breaks the motor instead of your back.
Q.Will an operator work with my existing remotes?
Only if they share the rolling-code protocol. Older fixed-code handsets are replaced, and we hand over two paired remotes as standard.
Q.Do you supply keypads and external key switches?
Yes, both. Keypads suit families and trades; external key switches suit commercial units around Nutts Corner commercial.
