Automation questions from Randalstown
Q.How long does the install take?
A typical Randalstown automation visit is two to four hours including balancing, safety testing and handover.
Q.Can any garage door be automated?
Most can, but the door must be balanced and running freely first. Automating a binding door in Randalstown just breaks the motor instead of your back.
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 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 BT41.
Q.What does automating an existing door cost in Randalstown?
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.Do you supply keypads and external key switches?
Yes, both. Keypads suit families and trades; external key switches suit commercial units around Creagh Industrial Estate.
