 Automatic Garage doors - busbee
I am about to buy an up-and-over automatic garage door.

The sales company offer only Hormann door openers. So far, the Promatic one has been pencilled in -- about £250. There is also a Hormann Superamatic version for £300.

I know door openers have reliability problems. My neighbour's one (make?) lasted only a few years. He was supposed to be able to get in after a failure, but in the event he was not able to and it cost him another door! -- I am having a side door built in, just in case.

Any thoughts about reliability? There was a short discussion some time ago but I could not find it. -- I am limited to a single piece door, incidentally, as there is not enough headroom for a sectioned or roller one.
