Picture is taken from the path, the head, meter and CU are in the storm porch outside what is now the front door. Presumably the cable I'm to remove...
Hi All,
Can a roller shutter door be operated from two positions, inside and out?
There is currently a key switch outside and would like an up/down switch inside if possible.

Need some advice with installing a Ring doorbell as mains powered in oppose to battery powered.

When I go to open my dryer door (which is on its own circuit) trips the breaker of my living room upstairs. Some electrical work was done but nothing major. It doesn’t trip the other circuit every time, it’s kind of a luck of the draw but it’s fairly frequent.

Just got some Fenix 3.6V(and also tried some old Trustfire 3.7V's) instead of the installed, disposable Li-ion cells, thinking that they would work just as well in my parent's Crocodile garage door sensor.
Both brands of rechargeable cells will only allow the door to partially open, about...

Hi,
I have a customer who has installed very heavy steel security door in a metal frame. This door is going nowhere. My concern is that an attack is most likely to be from between the metal frame and the blockwork, by working in a crow bar and then forcing the door frame away from the concrete...

I have 2:30 amp relays running the door poppers for my shaved door handles. They only seem to work properly when the Vehicle is running. Is this an alternator a battery relay or perhaps a wiring problem?
