Remote controls and smart garage door openers in Tyne and Wear: what to expect
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.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Wireless keypadCode entry outside the garage.
- Replacement receiverFor obsolete handsets.
- Extra handsetsCoded to your operator.
- Smart moduleApp control and alerts.

Safety points for customers in Tyne and Wear
Until the visit, avoid using a door that is noisy, crooked or heavy. If it is stuck open and you need to secure the garage, call us first; forcing a door with a broken spring or cable is dangerous.
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.
