I have a rough idea of how to install a lintel on an existing wall (to
make a new opening) using strong boys and needles. I don't have such
tools and thinking of adopting another method:


Strong boys and needles are effectively the same thing. With either you
need acrows or similar. You'd normally hire rather than buy.
The advantage of a strongboy is it works from one side only - with a
needle you need props either side of the wall.
