| Inward
turning doors can be re-hung on new horizontally tracked support gear
and motorized using a conventional garage door operator |
|
A unique characteristic of an inward-turning door is the fact that the
door does not protrude outwards beyond the door-frame when opening
Note: the remote control conversion
described on this page will result in the door swinging out beyond the
frame when opening |

D.I.Y. customers say !
| I
purchased two Arcadian door gear kits to convert a pair of Garador canopy doors.
It's good quality gear and you don't need a degree in rocket science to
fit it. Then I ordered two Seip TM60 remote controlled electric
operators. Again, excellent equipment which was straight forward to
fit and is wonderfully effective. I encountered a couple of minor
problems along the way (with my particular installation, not with
the equipment) and a phone call to Nick at Amourelle had it all
sorted in seconds. Amourelle's prompt delivery and customer service
are second to none. It is refreshing to find a company with such
'old fashioned' customer value! - Jeff Vernon; Doncaster, S. Yorks. |

I ordered
a Seip electric door opener and an Arcadian door gear conversion kit
for my canopy type garage door late on Thursday evening, the goods
were delivered next day 11.30!! I received plenty of help and
advice. And there can’t be many businesses that say ”If you are
doing the work over the weekend and need help, then just give me a
call on my mobile” All in all a great service.
