- Key Switch
The door can also be operated automatically by a key switch (optional extra) fitted to the outside of the garage door frame. This is useful if the transmitter is not available (car out on a journey), or if there is no other entrance into the garage (car locked in a garage with the transmitter). - Automatic Light
Whenever the door is used, a built-in light comes on and illuminates your garage, switching itself off after 3 minutes.
Very useful for those dark Henfield winter months or in areas where your garage entrance is in the shade. - Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, the door can be opened manually after pulling a release cable at the back of the door. If there is no entrance to the garage, you will need a manual key release (optional extra) which is set into the face of the automatic garage door and allows external release of the door with a key.

How do the Henfield Automatic Garage Doors work?
Your radio controlled automatic garage door in Henfield can be opened or closed by pressing either the button fitted on the garage wall, or your radio transmitter which is hand-held. The transmitter will work at a range of approximately 100ft (even from inside your house out of sight of the garage door), and has the latest rolling code security. Extra transmitters can be purchased, and extra wall buttons can be fitted in the garage or the other side of the wall.
Pressing the button or transmitter when the automatic garage door is closed will cause it to open fully in approximately 12 seconds, then stop. A further press will make it close and positively lock. If the door should meet an obstruction during closing - e.g. a car bonnet - or if the button is pressed again, the door will automatically reverse and go back to the open position. If obstructed while opening, the door will automatically stop.

FAQs about our Automatic Garage Doors Services in Henfield
Automatic garage doors have photo-eye sensors that ensure the doors don’t close on someone or something, causing serious damage. These sensors can be misaligned, interfering with the doors mechanism to operate properly. You should see lights on both the sensors, and they should blink or be lit.
Whether you lost your garage door remote or you have no power, knowing how to manually open your garage door is essential for homeowners. All automatic garage doors have a bypass that disconnects the garage door from the powered carriage and allows you to open the garage door manually.
Estimates of longevity are based on usage, but most experts believe the average garage door should last between 15–30 years, depending on construction quality, maintenance and local climate conditions. Automatic garage door openers normally provide 10–15 years of reliable service.
Here are some key issues to look out for, which may mean your Automatic Garage Door may need some TLC.
- Vibrating
- Opening then Reversing
- New Noises
- Intermittent or unresponsive opening
The remote control is a transmitter, and there is a built‑in receiver in the garage door opener. The remote creates a radio wave on a specific frequency (usually 315 or 390 MHz). The receiver picks up that signal, and either opens or closes the door depending on what is needed.
An automatic garage door opener allows you to open and close the door without any effort other than pushing a button, which means you can open the door from the comfort of your car. These openers work by using radio frequencies. When the frequencies match, the door opens or closes.
