What does a remote or smart opener upgrade involve in Ilford?
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 does a smart opener add?
App control lets you open and close the door from your phone, see whether it is open, and get alerts. Some systems allow time-limited access for family or deliveries.

Safety points for Ilford 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.
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.
