@dont-email.me:

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 ?

The wisdom is never to automate a garage door that is not running
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

doubt it.... it is baltic up here and I had it open every second day...
