What does a new garage door motor involve in Greenock?

What about adding a motor to a manual door?

Converting a manual sectional door to powered operation is possible if the door is suitable and in good order. The converted door must be checked and set up to the powered door safety requirements, with photocells where needed.

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.

Safety points for Greenock customers

If a spring has broken, a cable has come off or the door hangs crooked, stop using it, keep people and pets clear and do not try to force it open or closed. Leave the operator unplugged until the engineer has checked it.

Scotland has no Part P, but the socket or spur for an operator should be installed and certified to BS 7671.

Questions from Greenock customers

Will a new motor be quieter?

A belt-driven operator on a well-balanced door is usually much quieter than an older chain drive.

Can a motor be fitted to an old up-and-over door?

Operators exist for some up-and-over doors, but this site covers sectional doors. Many customers find replacing the door is better value.
