1. Opening: Hight = 2.m and width = 2. m. 2. Double swing gate for entrance and rest fixed. 3. I have an existing aluminium roller shutter mesh. The links are spased at mm horizontally and 95 mm vertically. The vertical links are 20 mm wide and the horizontal ones 25 mm. 4. Some of the links are broken were they slide up and down in a track and I don't think it is possible to weld then because they joint are flexible and if you weld them, it will become rigit and it will then not be possible to roll over the drum, and for this reason and also to get away from having to rely on electricity to open and close the gate, want to replace it with swing gates. 5. One can arguably make a frame and cut the mesh in section and weld it onto the frame, bur I need your advise on this possibility. 6. The close spacing between strands is also necassary to keep the little baboons out. 7. I would obviously prefer aluminium for maintenance reasons, but need advise on this because normal bar doors might not be so strong when made of aluminuim (I'm thinking here of security). 8. Colour should be Matt Bronze. 9. I'm attching a fot of the existing installation.
We recently had a Geberit toilet fitted into a drywall. The toilet has been ok until a month ago when it started dripping inside the toilet itself, it’s so irritating to listen to all night long. I think the silicone seals may be damaged, after watching a tutorial about this problem. What would this cost to come check out?
So we currently have finger print turnstiles at our estate where residents could go through - I would like to change the turnstiles to normal gates as when people go and walk their dogs in the estate, the turnstiles does not work for people and the dogs. Is it possible to change the turnstiles to pedestrian gate that can use on fingerprint?
