DoorteckGarage Doors Brighton, always advises customers when wishing to automate an older garage door that you should be careful not to assume the electric operator or remote control, is going to help with either a worn out or badly fitted garage door, both of which will be heavy to operate as they are usually not balanced correctly. Brighton Garage Doors. offer a free and with out obligation site visit to inspect your existing garage door with a view to making any necessary garage door repairs or replace parts that are needed prior to installation of a remote control system.

All remote controls, offer standard safety features which ensure the garage door will stop if an obstruction is met during its operation and reverse to prevent damage to the obstacle or door itself.

This safety feature is built into all CE compliant modern electric operators and relies upon the garage door being properly balanced as a manual door so the safety reverse feature does not receive false readings due to ‘heavy’ or ‘sticky’ positions during the doors operation.

otherwise this will give you a remote control system, that keeps stopping for no apparent reason and defeat the object of door automation.

For roller shutter doors the regulations are even clearer with a bottom edge safety sensor required to stop the roller shutter at any point during closing. Auto close systems have additional requirements which we can explain.

AUTOMATIC OBSTACLE DETECTION

If your garage door touches an obstacle while opening it will stop and stop and reverse while closing. It also provides additional safety with the optional sensors, which prevent the door from coming into contact, for example, with children playing, objects or vehicles.

PROTECTION AGAINST BURGLARS

The delayed opening mechanism of the operator protects your garage against unauthorised intrusions. The special encryption system of our wireless accessory offers an additional safety.
