Accuphase all the way down
Opened our tired old up-and-over garage door yesterday to put some stuff in the car, and the bloody thing failed and refused to shut. Tried for about an hour but it wasn’t having any. Ended up dismantling it and screwing the door to the inside of the frame, for security.
So, we need a new (single) garage door. Options seem to be another up and over (not keen, this one was always crap and I’m not after another the same. The basic design looks cheap, unless there are well-engineered options for sensible money?); a roller shutter (don’t want it to look like a shop front, and not sure whether you need more room for the roller); or a slatted jobby which rolls up and over. Any benefits/pitfalls the pfm massive can flag up? Also, GRP or steel?
Prolly not looking for a really long term solution as we may reconfigure the garage at some point and need a different opening then anyway, but need >5 years of durable and reliable use, with sensible security.
Thoughts?
