Electric garage doors

[buzzer]

I have a large double garage which I would like to fit with an electric door opener on the double up and over door. The problem is, I have a car hoist in the middle of the garage so if I fit a normal door opener, it will restrict the height I can take cars up to on the hoist.

Anyone know of a door opener that fits to the side, rather than the middle like most I have seen?

Change it to an electric roller door much more secure and seals very well.

It's a big door and will cost a fortune to replace... It is also insulated and seals around the side perfectly so I can't see the point of replacing it.

Anyone ever mounted a central motor to the side? Anyone see a problem in doing that?

Anyone know who the market leaders are so I can give them a call?

Cheers guys

How much is the motor set up looking like it will cost to buy and fit?

There seems to be quite a lot around for £150 to £250 which is about what I want to spend.

Our electric doors work from a motor on one side at the bottom that pulls cables. There is nothing on the roof at all.
There are single doors but I don't see why you couldnt use it on a bigger door.

Any idea of the make?

Nope, because I'm currently sitting on an oil rig about 120 miles from the house!
I'd be able to tell you in a week and a bit...

Perfect timing then! I am in Miami just about to pick up a cruise for a couple of weeks!
