Hi,

looking for garage door openers for side hung doors.

At the moment I can only find garage door openers for 'up and over' and
roller doors.

The garage inquestion has very high doors - high enough to admit a caravan.

I can find side openers for gates (rare to have an 'up and over' front gate
:-) ) but these don't seem to have the additional safety and locking
features you would need for a garage door.

I know you can get high and wide automatic roller doors for industrial units
but this seems a bit OTT for a humble domestic garage.

The aim is to set the garage up so Mum-in-law can have her electric scooter
in there - it is not practical to have it in the house.

I am Googling away but in the meantime I wondered if anyone had already
solved this problem.

TIA
Dave R

the opener is the same as for up and over ,with a conversion side door
kit,basically to long bars forming a large V shaped tow arm,and the opener
used in reverse,
ie the towing bracket would be in the up and over closed position but your
doors would in effect be open.

get a roller shutter, easy to fit, pretty secure as standard, remote
control, everything you need. I have bought from Ambasadoor, up
north, but they do deliver and or install.

How about

I have purchased various things from Amourelle and they are helpful
and knowledgable. I would call and discuss rather than just buy
because they can get other products than those on their web site so
you may have several options

Thanks - looks good.
I guess I should be looking for 'barn door' via Google.
