My garage roller door motor decides to die this morning. It has been dying a slow death and have been fixed twice in the past. I would like to replace it now.
It is an old motor driving a chain driven mechanism part of the roller door. I guess I can just go to Bunnings and buy a compatible motor but would like to know if there are better options out there? What would ozbargainers recommend for something that is cheap and cheerful?
No idea if it's the best, but I have Merlin MR850EVO installed on 2 doors. Drives the doors up and down easily with soft start and stop. Seemed to be the best value online with DIY install. The installation was relatively easy, but I was replacing a similar style (different brand) unit that stopped working. I've also bought another to fit to a third door when I get around to it - I bought the same brand to ensure the remote will work for all 3 though.
One thing I don't like about it though is the buttons on the keyfob remote. They are a bit easily pressed and I've opened/closed the garage a few times just by having my keys in a pocket.
