    Thumbs up roller garage doors

    im on the lookout for a motorised roller door for my new garage build, has anyone got any feedback from a particular make or company they have used?
    Ive seen some on an ebay shop from a company called autoroll uk and their prices are very good, around £650 for a 10 foot wide by 7 foot high. My budget is £1000

    If you are using a motorised door you should have another access route to your garage incase the motor fails.

    I used these guys to supply and fit (manual door although they do motorised as well). They did a decent job.

    I used Autoroll. I must have decided they were the best value for money for my application. Made and delivered promptly. No other access so had mechanical release. Fitted easily, good technical back up. No issues so far.

    I used these guys to supply my door, I fitted it myself - easy really! Great service and really helpfull My Great Aunt had them supply and install - she has nothing but praise for their service and follow up calls to check it was all working fine a few months later etc. (she lived right by the sea so quite a tough environment, sand regularly burried the car!)

    9 years on and its working great.
