Key questions about electric sectional doors in Peebles
What happens in a power cut?
Every electric sectional door has an emergency release, a cord inside that disconnects the carriage so the door can be lifted by hand. If the garage has no other way in, an external emergency release lock can be added.
What safety features should it have?
A power-operated door needs force limitation so it stops and reverses if it meets resistance, and photocells across the opening are a sensible addition so the door will not close on a car, child or pet. Doors put into service in the UK should meet the product standard BS EN 13241, with the powered-door safety requirements of BS EN 12453, including force limits measured with a calibrated meter, applied when the door is set up.

Questions from Peebles customers
Are electric garage doors safe with children and pets?
A correctly set up powered door limits closing force and reverses on contact, and photocells stop it closing when the beam is broken. We test these on fitting day and recommend testing them monthly.
Can I add more remotes later?
Yes. Extra handsets can be coded to most operators, and we can do this on a service visit.
Which parts of Peebles do you cover?
We cover Peebles across postcode districts EH45, along with nearby Galashiels. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Peebles?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, check with Scottish Borders Council.
