Operator choice on a rural cottages
Border-country agri jobs, large slab roller doors are the norm. That shapes how we quote a electric door and operator job here.
On the residential side, Keady is dominated by rural cottages and farms. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.

Balance, motor, safety, handover
- 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 Keady 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 Keady property.
- 4
Pair, set limits and demonstrate
Travel limits set, handsets and keypad paired, and the manual release shown to whoever uses the door.
Old automation without modern safety devices
Remotes that have lost pairing or use obsolete fixed-code frequencies
Manual doors that are awkward to lift in rain or at night
Power cuts leaving a car locked in with no manual release

Keady electric door FAQ
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 BT60.
Q.What happens in a power cut?
Every operator we fit includes a manual release cord or external key release, so you can always get the door open. Battery backup is available as an option.
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.What does automating an existing door cost in Keady?
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.How long does the install take?
A typical Keady automation visit is two to four hours including balancing, safety testing and handover.
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.
