A Blast From The Past - Replacement Garage Door Opener

Transforming a Legacy with Modern Automation

Recently, GDA Dorset had the unique opportunity to modernise a truly one-of-a-kind automation unit that had been reliably serving a customer for over 30 years. When we arrived for the free initial survey, we were greeted by an intriguing piece of machinery that was unlike anything we’d seen before. It turns out, this prototype had been designed and built by the owner of a mobility company—a true testament to creativity and ingenuity.

While the unit had performed flawlessly for decades, it finally met its match when the wireless connection failed. With no spare parts available, it was clear the system had earned its retirement. We swiftly upgraded the setup with our state-of-the-art GDA 1000 unit, a German-engineered Garage Door Opener solution designed for reliability and ease of use.

The customer couldn’t have been happier. Not only did the new system restore full functionality, but the addition of two handsets also gave them the convenience of controlling their door right from their cars. A 30-year-old legacy had been successfully replaced by cutting-edge technology—seamlessly and with delighted results.
