OK who was the smart arse who said electric garage shutters were
great...after about a year mine has broken down....went up about two
feet then reversed and shut.....tried it again went up about two
inches
then went back down...is this a common fault ?

perfectly
smoothly and is well balanced.

the whole thing was new and this is the first time it has happened in
a year....


Lockdown ?. 30 degrees centigrade in Glasgow ? ...
what ?


Lack of use ?, Thermal expansion jamming slidy bits
