Hi, I've just been experimenting with using a manual button to open my E2 supramatic garage door by connecting wires to the push button terminals and touching them together. The method worked briefly, but now when I either try to use the manual buttons on the operator, or press the open button...

I'm converting my garage to a habitable office-type room, but I wanted to retain my garage door, so I still have the large doorway, and so it's back-convertible in the future. I'm planning on painting the existing floor with liquid damp proofing, then adding electric underfloor heating with a...

I have a Henderson Premier garage door which is catching on the bottom right frame when it closes as shown in the photo. I noticed the cable on that side is much tighter than on the other side. It only has one nut on the overhead spring that can be tightened on the left and I am aware it is...

Hello I’m hoping for some advice. The previous owners painted the metal garage door and it’s flaking off. I have a feeling it might have been painted in emulsion which they seem to have been obsessed with. I’ve tried pressure washing it Which at the time seemed to work and then more has flaked...

Looking at replacing a battered and broken up and over garage door with something more functional. Thinking a roller door as would require less opening space. Possibly motorised to save effort opening. Are there any particular brands to look out for or avoid? Is aluminium ok and strong...

I need to replace my wooden garage doors and thought I'd replace the frame at the same time. However looking at them I'm wondering if there is a lintel or is there reliance on the wooden frame. The house was built in 1935 and originally above the garage there was a non full height storage...

Hi, I a re-painting a Henderson galvanised garage door from the mid 80s. The paint was generally pretty loose, so after 12 hours scraping and a few spots of Nitromorse, it's basically completely bare and rust free. Where the main metal sheet meets the vertical end pieces, there is some gaps...

Having removed the existing peeling white paint and sanded my garage door back to the metal, I applied a small area of 'Hammerite - Direct to Galvanised' only to find the consistency seemed more like a glue and the area hasn't covered well at all (see attached). The paint did have a creamy...
