How a Dunmurry automation visit runs
- 1
Check the door is fit to automate
A motor will not fix a badly balanced door, so we service and balance first on any Dunmurry conversion.
- 2
Match the operator to the door weight
Pull force and duty cycle specified against the actual leaf, not a guess.
- 3
Install power and safety devices
Photocells, force limits and a manual release fitted and tested at the Dunmurry property.
- 4
Pair, set limits and demonstrate
Travel limits set, handsets and keypad paired, and the manual release shown to whoever uses the door.
Operator and remote faults we attend around Dunmurry
Remotes that have lost pairing or use obsolete fixed-code frequencies
Manual doors that are awkward to lift in rain or at night

Automation questions from Dunmurry
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 safety features are fitted as standard?
Photocells across the opening, an obstruction force limit that reverses the door, and a soft-stop at each end of travel. We test all three at handover in BT17.
Q.Can any garage door be automated?
Most can, but the door must be balanced and running freely first. Automating a binding door in Dunmurry just breaks the motor instead of your back.
Q.What does automating an existing door cost in Dunmurry?
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 I open the door from my phone?
Yes, a smartphone module adds app control and open or closed status. We fit it alongside handsets rather than instead of them.
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 Dunmurry garage.
