Fitted well by 1st Class Builders of Norwich. The braking system failed after 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. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/uk-diy...ad-962921-.htm 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. Richard 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 -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
