Amazingly, the motor was still pulling the door up and down with ease despite the door only having one spring and cable attached. It is believed to have been made by the Bolton Gate Company, which has been established since 1924. Come across any relics from a bygone era? I’ve Cleared Some Space! Customer: “I hope that’s enough room for you, I’ve cleared some space” We’ve Had Some Work Done! Customer: “We’ve had some work done in the garage since the first survey, hope it won’t be in the way?” Errr....... massive sigh! The Garage Door Fitters Forum
