The one I got (Seceuroglide) had as an option an external handle. The hole the handle fitted into had a locking plate to cover it. It presented as a keyhole in a plate, you turned the key removed the plate,inserted the handle (as long as you hadn't locked it in the garage!) and then started unwinding.
It's much quicker and easier with the motor!
How have you got on with this? Has it been ok since you fitted it?
I didn't buy one straight away because all my money was spent with Christmas ;)
I'm in the market now though.
I did look at another ebay seller "totalsecurity2005" but I was unhappy with them. On ebay the advertised price is £417 + £65 p&p. they asked me to call them with my requirements and told me the price was £690! I asked why this was £200 more than the ebay price and was told the ebay item had a "cheap Chinese" motor and the one they quoted had a "solid British" motor; also the ebay one (apparently) did not come with safety sensors to stop the door if something/someone was in the way but the expensive one did. The description implied the ebay item had sensors included.
Has anyone else used total security and if so, how did you find them and their products?
I've emailed Birkdale and hope to go with them.
Thanks again.
