In the U.K. our garage are tiny! Anything we can do to maximise space is needed. I decided to do some research and ended up with an externally mounted garage door. It’s a insulated roller door. The company I used are linked below.

I'd suggest a small carpet off cut or even an old towel to protect the coiled cable from rubbing on the wall......the tape won't last long.

Thank you for this. I have quite a wide pillar, 300mm, mounting inside would look not great and would be a tight fit for the car. So externally mounted will be the way to go for me. Could you tell me the dimensions of the box the roller goes into please?

It has been a game changer for me. 8 inches tall, 8 inches deep and 95 inches long.

Great stuff. Very interested in this solution. Could I be cheeky and ask what it set you back? Just a ballpark figure would help. Many thanks.

Not a problem at all. It cost £1520 and that includes £120 for a 5 year warranty.

I have a very similar problem with protruding wooden frame. I am very impressed with this installation. What make and model is this door? and secondly how do you open the door in the event of a power cut? Thank you for posting your excellent video.
@wheelsandwatches
@wheelsandwatches 3 года назад
Hi, if the door fails there is a cap you remove on the underside of the white metal box that houses the roller and a winding pole that you use to manually raise and lower the door. Not sure on the brand as ‘Essex roller doors’ (essexrollerdoors.co.uk) don’t state the manufacturer. Their service was spot on and the instillation as you say is very good indeed.

Hi just seen an ad for these, my immediate question. How secure are these, could they be broken into easily?
@wheelsandwatches
@wheelsandwatches Год назад
I was told very secure. More secure than a standard up and over garage.

@rsnissan 7 месяцев назад
Are these any less compromised from a security perspective with the door frame/box being mounted on the outside? I think this is the only option for me but am (perhaps wrongly) thinking this is somehow less secure.
@wheelsandwatches
@wheelsandwatches 7 месяцев назад
I would assume it must be. You would have to somehow remove it from where it is bolted into the wall though. I have to be honest. Security was not my aim with this so I didn’t ask those questions.

This is the EXACT dilemma I have. Couldn't think of any solutions, until this video... Absolutely brilliant. How is the box holding up since its mounted outside? Any issues with water etc? Thanks mate
@wheelsandwatches
@wheelsandwatches 2 года назад
Nope. Completely water tight. No issues at all. It is designed to be external like the ones on shop fronts. I can’t say enough how much of a difference it has made.
@johnandlorna
@johnandlorna 2 года назад
Exactly. We currently have very drafty wooden doors fitted externally, and we are massively limited with depth of garage as it's been partitioned. I can fit my bike in there currently, however if we fit an internal roller door then it wouldn't fit. I've already gone on a few websites to get some quotes and ask if they fit external electric doors. Thanks again bud 👍
@uptwisting
@uptwisting 2 года назад
Great stuff. I have a similar issue but mine is that my garage is 11cm too short with the up and over to fit my car. If mounted externally, I'd get an extra 30cm, so could get the car out of the rusting sea air! I'm tempted to fit it myself, as it doesnt look that complicated. Did the company you use have any issues? Btw, it looks great! Congrats!

@@andrewl4878 sorry for being dim. Are you literally referring to the number of horizontal slats? What difference does it make? I can count if that helps but will only be a count of the visible slats.
@andrewl4878
@andrewl4878 Год назад
@@wheelsandwatches No, it is the width of the individual slat so there are narrower 55mm slats and bigger 77mm slats. There would be less slats if 77mm and this apparently makes the door stronger/more secure especially if very wide.

It is the same implementation used for shop frontages. So the slats are reversed.
