Retrofit automatic garage door openers

Turn your existing manual door automatic with a quality branded opener that stops and reverses if it meets an obstacle.

Retrofit automatic garage door openers in Inverness

We supply and install electric openers for all types of garage door, turning a manual door into an automatic one that opens at the press of a button. We only use quality branded products with two or five-year warranties.

A retrofit opener is often a more economical choice than a new door when the existing door is in good condition. We check the door first, and if it needs a repair or adjustment to run safely under power, we will tell you and quote for it before we start.

  • Suitable for up and over, sectional, roller and side hinged doors
  • Opened by remote control, with keypad and smartphone options
  • Quality branded openers with two or five-year warranties
  • Fitted with a safety return that reverses the door if it meets an obstacle

Never fit a garage door opener if it does not have a safety return mechanism when an obstruction is hit. Latest standards require a very fast reaction time for the opener motor to reverse as soon as it has struck an obstacle. There are a lot of very cheap, noisy, non-European, non-compliant electric openers available in the UK. Buyers should be very aware of what they may be purchasing, as it may well be illegal or dangerous, especially if it is incorrectly specified for the door type.
