What does a remote or smart opener upgrade involve in Braintree?

Is smart control secure?

Use a strong Wi-Fi password, keep the app updated, and only share access you can revoke. The door should still have its own safety devices; the app is a convenience, not a safety system.

What if my handset is obsolete?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.

What can you choose for your Braintree garage?

  • Wireless keypadCode entry outside the garage.
  • Smart moduleApp control and alerts.

You will know the visit price before we book. Any parts or extra work are quoted and agreed with you first.
