There’s a whole host of sellers at about the £400 Mark, and I’m happy to fit myself.
Just wondered if anyone has bought a made to measure door from the numerous eBay/online companies at all?
Anything to report?
Ta!

Rollerdor in Norwich go direct rather then eBay ,ask for Colin .I’ve fitted loads of then without a problem

Thanks, will do!

2nd Rollerdor. I have one and it was very easy to fit and great quality.

I got one fitted from Essati about a month ago for £700.00. Pleased with the results.

Are roller doors more secure than traditional up and over doors?

Are roller doors more secure than traditional up and over doors?

I think they are, as they can’t be forced up from the outside.

DrP

Any luck with your door?

Measured up and been playing with the website, but stairs/bathroom/paint ask taking priority!
I’ll focus on it next week!!

DrP

Bookmarked for future use…..

Difficult to fit at all? Reasonably good at DIY myself.

They look fairly straightforward on the instructions..
I’ll do a little write up!
Must order one this coming week!

DrP

Subscribed.

Moi aussi. My current up and over need bodging once every 6 months.

Diy rollers look like a good option.

They are easy to fit , I fit garage doors for a living but anyone with diy knowledge can fit one , the rd 55 comes pre assembled..roughly takes me two hours to rip out old door and fit new

I’m fitting a few this week will take some pics and post on here

How much height do you need above the door /behind the lintel to fit the rd55 ?

205mm or 300mm for the 77

Good stuff dave , will have a quick measure up when i go out. Worst case i just rip my “mezziamine” shelf out ……

Lots of photos please I’m fitting one soon. How much vertical play on the side rails the left hand wall on my garage is 6mm out of plumb over the hight and I would rather not pack it out with packers.

Thanks

6mm will be fine ,just make sure the axle/head is set level , the roll comes with a full box which means it fiet all need to be fitted being lintel can go completely within if you have the height or even half of it behind

Thanks

Ordered today…£605 all in..
3 week lead time, so keep those breaths held…!!

* adds name to roller door love in *

me too

And another.

What does “all in” include to make up the price difference from the original £400-ish figure?

I think the domestic department of fiscal responsibility would allow me to splurge £400 on a door, but I think the line may be drawn before £600…

Hmm, bookmarked!

I’ve a fairly standard garage door size… I opted for the safety sensor (+£125 ) . Was £480 for the normal door.

DrP

Ah, I shall just tell her to be more careful then! Ta.

*moves up to of diy nerd wishlist*

Did u go for wireless safety? …they run in dead man mode as standard this can be switched off easily…
Deadman- hold button to close

Did u buy the 55or 77

Oh and anyone local to Surrey I can do supply and fit and disposal of old door! Not sure this is allowed but hey

Yes, wireless safety so it’s one click close…
Seemed fancier that dead man. The lady on the phone laughed when I sited the reason fur wanting it!

DrP

Interesting. Do they gain any headroom against an up and over? My vdub won’t go into the garage at the new house. Needs an extra inch of clearance as the door hangs too low under the lintel.

I suppose it depends. If you can fit the unit behind the lintel (I can) then you can have the opening to pretty much the woke brick frame… Obviously if tutu gaff to fit the unit below the lintel then you lose 300mm..

I fitted our above the Lintel:

DrP

davewilson – do you come as far south as Steyning?

John…I’m in worthing! Small world!

DrP

Bit of a cheeky hijack but are there any cheaper versions of a Hormann sectional door?

Thanks.
