It's not JUST because this happened to me over the weekend (okay, maybe it largely is), but I was also having a discussion with a customer yesterday (yes, on a Bank Holiday). We had both suffered the same fate of a drenching by a heavy shower as we rushed to open up our garage doors. 

Not only is it a pain having to either sit around in wet clothes or change into something dry, but it is unnecessary. These days retro-fit motors for garage doors are readily available and easy to install.

Here at SBM Direct, we have seen in increase in popularity of our GlideRol RW-1 retro-fit motor. It's easy to fit, doesn't cost the earth and is also cheap to run, and looks pretty good too.

Imagine the delight of never having to get out of your car to open that door again. oh, happy days.
