Power, headroom and fixing points in BT27
Half our Knockmore work is repeat business from logistics tenants on Altona Road. It's why a templated quote for Lisburn usually misses something.
On the residential side, Lisburn is dominated by semi detached and detached housing. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.

Lisburn electric door FAQ
Q.What does automating an existing door cost in Lisburn?
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 Lisburn just breaks the motor instead of your back.
Q.Do you supply keypads and external key switches?
Yes, both. Keypads suit families and trades; external key switches suit commercial units around Knockmore Hill Business Park.
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 BT27.
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.How long does the install take?
A typical Lisburn automation visit is two to four hours including balancing, safety testing and handover.
