What does a new garage door motor involve in Rickmansworth?
Is it the motor or the door?
A motor that strains, stops or reverses is often struggling with an unbalanced door, a broken spring or a sticking roller. We check the door first, because a new motor on a faulty door will fail again.
What does setting up involve?
Open and close limits, force limits, soft start and stop, photocell tests and the emergency release are all set and checked, then handsets are coded.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Rickmansworth?
Until the visit, avoid using a door that is noisy, crooked or heavy. If it is stuck open and you need to secure the garage, call us first; forcing a door with a broken spring or cable is dangerous.
If the garage already has a socket near the operator position, no electrical notification is needed. A brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P in England.
