Remote controls and smart garage door openers in Dunoon: common questions
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.
What if my handset is obsolete?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 does a remote or smart opener upgrade cost in Dunoon?
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.
This is a chargeable visit, priced up front. If parts are needed, you get the price before any further work is done.
What should you do until the engineer arrives in Dunoon?
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.
