  1. 10 years ago, I dug deep in my pockets for a powered roller door. Apart from an odd sized (expensive) battery needing replacement every couple of years in the safety sensor, it’s been faultless. A couple of years ago, I decided to replace the manual roller door at the other end of my drive through garage. Went with a company called Garolla who use local, independent installers. Didn’t go with sophisticated, 1 touch remote for up, hold the remote button for down. Probably 3 years old now, it has been faultless and cost, including installation, was a third of the original roller door in one of their fairly frequent sales. The independent installer did a good job. Andy

  3. I installed two remote control roller doors in our garage several years ago.

    Really easy to install yourself, I did both in 1 day with just a little help holding stuff from Lady Nasher when needed.

    They make a big difference compated to an up and over.

  5. Thanks both for the replies but unfortunately because of the design of the garage roller doors aren’t an option, it’s either an up-and-over or a pair of side hinged doors. The door is across the corner of the garage, which has a ridge roof, so there is not enough headroom for the roller unless the height of the entrance is reduced by a considerable amount.
