I had an Alluguard roller shutter door to replace my up and

Fitted well by 1st Class Builders of Norwich. The braking

just over 2 years and, consequently, I was unable to operate
the manual
device. Alluguard were not interested in replacing the brake
as, they say, it
is not part of the 10 year guarantee and is only guaranteed for
2 years. Very
convenient. It cost me nearly £300 to have it replaced by 1st
Class builders,
a job that took less then an hour. Most of the cost was the
part supplied by
Alluguard. I will not be using them, or recommending them, again.

I have had roller doors on my last two garages and much prefer
them to up and over because you can park the car nearer to them
and do not have to allow for the door swing.

We had one fitted several years back (perhaps as many as 10?) and
it has been excellent. The previous door was an 'up and over'
with an old electric opener (fitted by the previous owner) which
was getting more and more temperamental plus the door wasÂ* pain
to open manually due to the size (a double)- especially for my wife.

We shopped around and got a few quotes- we went for one in the
middle, mainly as they seemed the most professional (as I recall
the price was about £2.2k, including 2 remotes etc). You can open
it manually, I've done it twice- once to check how to do it and
once when we had a power cut. It isn't too bad but I think my
wife would struggle but she could certainly get it open/closed if
needed.

They are much better in terms of sealing- almost no draughts etc.
We have a rubber strip on the floor that it seals against.




my box is on the outside so in theory a thief could wind it up...

Do people steal Dacia's though ?.
mustang is in there


Petrol is cheap, and sun is (was) shining. Better take advantage
of both while you can, winter (and Covid-20) is coming :-)

amur doing so...nowhere to go but going and coming back is fun
....also out on the elecrtic scooter...lovely 22kpm or 38kpm with
turbo boost...toty not legal...tee hee


You'll be banned from M&S going at that speed around the ladies clothes
displays

good
