So what have you done today..?

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

 

worked on a roof, in between two houses

man a man i nearly passed out

 

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.

 

Got the bike out and rode down to Coningsby to watch the Typhoons come and go. Took my Ausie Bush hat glad i did it was hot
the Chipmunk is used for pilots who fly the Spitfires and Hurricanes to practice on a piston engined tail dragger

 

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.

 

That’s a bugger. My vote then is for side hinged doors. Very little to go wrong. Andy

 

Also easier for senior management to operate if I’m not about. Although in fairness to the existing up-and-over door, it’s done 32 years under our ownership and it wasn’t new when we moved in, so going wrong wouldn’t be a major concern.

The other interesting thing is whether or not I can get a half Euro cylinder to work with the Ultion lock set that we already have. If we can’t that would mean a separate key for an up-and-over door, but the side hung would operate off the same key.

 

Stopped off on the Antrim Coast at the small fishing village of Carnlough

 

The hotel specialises in whiskey from around Ireland

 

Dropped Son off at Heathrow for his 3 Months of work. £7 to drop off outside the terminal!!!!

Couldn’t get a decent enough paid work in the UK, but easily found one abroad.

Another time when the UK has been found lacking, further encouraging him along the path to emigrating once he leaves Uni.

 

Largin' it at some gaff in the country.

 

Looks terrible TBH.
