Remote controls and smart garage door openers in St Austell: what to expect
Can you code a replacement remote?
Most operators accept extra handsets of the same type and frequency. We identify your operator and code new handsets to it.
What if my handset is obsolete?
If the original handset is no longer made, a new receiver can be fitted so modern handsets work with your door, or the operator can be upgraded.

How much does a remote or smart opener upgrade cost in St Austell?
Guide price: £150–£300 inc VAT. We agree the visit price before we come; parts and any further work are priced before we do them.
You will know the visit price before we book. Any parts or extra work are quoted and agreed with you first.
What should you do until the engineer arrives in St Austell?
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.
A garage door fitted with an operator counts as a machine under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, whether it is at home or at work. Whoever puts the complete powered door into service must check it against BS EN 12453, including measuring closing forces with a calibrated meter, and issue a Declaration of Conformity and apply UKCA or CE marking (CE marking in Northern Ireland). That includes motorising an existing manual door, which is why a conversion is always set up and tested as a new powered door.
