are these doors safe, i had a quick look into it as a neighbour has one but wondered if i would get some scumbag using something similar to a all in one (tv,vcr,etc) remote, where you can go up and down the frequency until you get the right one,

There's no reason why a radio operated one shouldn't be just as good as your car alarm/immobiliser. Even IR could (and should) operate on a rolling code which isn't the same as that used by TV/video manufacturers.

It'd be far easier and quicker to break down the door with a truck...

try ASI, they did a perfect job on my garage. They will probably do a special offer if you don't go ahead the first time you enquire.
Phone number is 01622 735781

No, Novoferm 553 kevlar belt operator every day ........ I do loads of these .

Novoferm UK

I have a direct account with them and can vouch for the products they sell.

Something to consider if you are automating your existing door is that it is a retractable garage door and not a canopy (retractable has springs either side on the jambs , Canopy has a long spring above the door on the timber head). If it is a canopy, DON'T use the chamberlain arm adapter ......... It's crap. Either put up with your door manually or get a new retractable.

If you need any further advice, you can contact me on 07786 077329 , 01268 741717 or mail me at nathanmurray@blueyonder.co.uk

Before you ask, yes I do own the garage door company.

Yell.co.uk advert My ad is halfway down named 'Garage doors' .

Hope this helps

Nate.
