Which Double Garage Door?
Discussion
Anyone had experience of crocodile doors? http://www.crocodiledoors.co.uk/garage-door
Got a brochure from them earlier this week. Saw an advert on tv where they were offering free fitting, 20% off and 0% finance.

I got a brochure followed by a sales call one evening, and I mean sales call!! He wanted to arrange a time that myself and my wife would be available to sit down with their specialist. I said give me an idea of price first! He wouldn't, I said unless you can tell me you can do it for less than 2k your wasting your time, he hung up.....

Defo a lot of cowboys out there. One guy offered me an "upgrade" that means the door will go up on its own with 1 press of the button rather than holding it down and waiting... I said surely that's just a dip switch in the control box... he just looked at me like I had just sh@gged his wife.
I would at least suggest getting Tony Coletta to do a quote if you are concerned about being stitched up by some cowboy outfit. I dragged him away while he was quoting for a neighbours, asked him to measure up which he did there and then, chose colour, got a quote a day later, and 6 weeks after that voilà!
They have done three doors around me recently (enclosing in car ports of differing sizes) and they all look good. Really nice chap to deal with. I had a few quotes from a couple of other firms which were all around that price, but in the end went with Tony as he seemed more genuine and less high pressure sales tactics! A few more of theirs here

The chap opposite me is the carport with the yellow ladder in before/after shots.
Problem now is figuring out what to put in it and rack layouts etc!

Update: Had one of them on the phone today - reduced from £2k to £1600. I guess business is slow - time of year etc.
Sounds pretty good to me so they are coming back next week to take some measurements and confirm exactly what we want doing and I think we will go for it at that price.

I've gone for an anthracite grey from Rollerdor in Norwich, RD77 classic with two remotes and internal manual override. £1420 including VAT.
There isn't a bad word said about them on reviews.com and a average of 4.8 over 280 odd reviews, good feedback on their Facebook page too.
Being fitted at the end of the mi th so I'll get some pics!
