Automatic
garage door openers for your garage door. Check if a garage door
opener can easily be fitted.
Spend
a few minutes measuring the site to ensure that the automatic garage
door unit you choose is the right one for you, will do the job,
and give you a lifetime service.
Power
A 13 amp
socket (240v mains) is sufficient for this purpose and, should it
be necessary to add one to the ring main, it is one of the least
costly jobs an expert will do.
Let's keep
this simple. At this stage we go for two measurements and a few
observations.
Clearance
height. Measure the distance between the ceiling and the highest
point of the door when it is starting to open - that is just after
it starts to lean backwards into the garage.
Length
available. The boom of the garage door opener occupies the space
shown in blue.
Observe.
This type of door should, if properly adjusted pivot naturally
at about one third to halfway open. Does it? Needs
to be YES
Is the
movement smooth in opening and closing?
Needs
to be YES
Is the movement
free of any binding, catching, scraping or jamming when the door
is used? Needs to be YES
What material
is the construction of the front wall of the garage - directly above
the garage door.
At this
point you have enough information to be able to e-mail the information
and ask for a price for your automatic garage door.

that is the next step in
