OK so i think you've digressed somewhat to missing the OP request, i didn't proclaim i am a 'winging it DIY'er' and would like detailed instructions 'how do i wipe back to front or front to back' etc on the ins n outs of installing a potential death trap powered gate kit. I only asked for...

Eyes wide open is the term, and yes already aware of this very sad case and many more. A case in example in fact on this occassion Hormann doors, i decided to go for a reputable make and use a 'Horman Dealer' to install. The site survey caused me some concern but i instead attempted to ignore...

Great advice thankyou, something i didn't have to worry about so much on the sliding gates installed before. The kit i am looking at according to Wind loading parameter for my gates (no gaps) is good for Gusts up to 20m/s (Gale Force eight) so i may look at electromagnetic fastening also, over...

I think you've made that assumption already?

I personally installed my previous sliding gate system, complete with crush strips, trip sensors, and torque-sensing logic. That installation is still running reliably today, used daily by the new owners, with the only fault ever being down to a few winter leaves not being cleared properly from...

Thanks for your input – I appreciate the concern around gate safety, i am not in anyway a 'have a go' diyer by any means. Just to reassure you, I’m a qualified and experienced engineer with a solid background in electrical systems, risk mitigation, and installation best practices. Safety has...

I am looking at double swing gate kit for my property, at my old place i installed a Came sliding gate kit, worked ok mostly. Anyway i see many more manufacturers pushing them now, i want a swing gate kit for my wooden gates which are quite heavy i guess made of softwood 1.8m wide by 1.8m tall...

Looking for recommendations to replace my current very old PIR sensor with a Smart version. I have a new garage for example which does not have the circuit feed from the PIR so currently these do not come on when a a car or person is near the garage. Any recommendations appreciated. Needs to be...

Im sorry ive been very stressed this week, it's been both parents with similar issues believe it or not. My father also has a similar issue, the specialist is just saying go home bed no longer needed. I want to find his car and break it, and everytime he takes it into repair ill say 'ah its an...

So now basically it looks like they just want to discharge him again. Theyve Cat scanned him and are not sure, could be Pancreas, could be Gall Bladder they are not sure. He was in hospital last week in agony for 4 days on an IV anti biotic drip now it seems they're just going to release him again.

Indeed they just seem to want the bed back and shove care back to the doctors who in turn say anything bad go to AnE, thus overloading AnE its a fking disgrace noone is fixing. Could be worse, i watched 'The Good Nurse' the other night, omg how shocking was that how hospitals in the USA were...

First of all thankyou to all who have replied and offered suggestions and help i do appreciate it. Ok i did some chatgpt'ing and noted this from her papers she was administered this via IV. Metronidazole (Flagyl) is absolutely brutal for nausea, especially via IV. It’s one of the most...

Looking for some guidance here, i have an elderly parent (my mum mid 80's) who i am starting to get concerned about. She's recently been in hospital for a infection issue intestinal area. After 5 days in with morphene and Intravenous IV she was discharged bit i am concerned this has left her in...

I am not sure what you mean its external so is exposed to weather yes.

Weather strip on my door. Here i go again having to finish the job, i had this door fitted by carpenters the other week but when it rains water is blowing in underneath. What do i fit to seal and prevent this? Pic of door sill below, there is nothing under the door at the moment. I was...

Oh well i called Hormann UK today they at first seemed reluctant to deal with me completely advising me to just call a local Hormann dealer, to which i reiterated my issue and concerns. I was given a contact name who wasn't at her desk when i wanted to call her, i had her email, sent her lots of...

OK thanks have checked they are listed from your link, I shall be onto Hormann UK tomorrow for sure!

Thanks Harry, will supply a photo in the morning but i am pretty sure he mentioned a trim kit as i pointed this out when the installer was here measuring up. I should have known better because from the start i was checking every detail and he didn't seem bothered 'yeah it will be fine..' my...

I ordered a Hormann garage door, the guy turned up measured up and went away. Months later some installers arrived. Umd and arrd and said it won't fit it's too tall it needs the top panel trimming. They installed it anyway, its a 5 horizontal section up n over garage door. The top panel won't...
