EXCEPTIONS
(i) Cables/Cone & Cables are classed by the manufacturers as consumables and are therefore NOT
covered by their or our guarantee.
(ii) Claims for marks on insulated roller doors slats occur through salt residue build up,
regular washing of the door will prevent excessive build up and prevent marks, please note claims
for marks are excluded from the standard guarantee for properties within 2.5miles of the coast.
(iii) Please note Batteries, Keys, Handles, roller door auto locks/knuckle joints are excluded
from the standard guarantee.
(iv) All guarantees are only valid providing the mechanism has been regularly maintained, no
claim will be entertained due to failure due to neglect & general wear & tear.
(v) All doors do a ‘reasonable’ job of keeping the outside out and the inside in, but the nature
of how they are made and how they operate means they are not hermetically – sealed. Customers
should ask or take a look at what they can expect and how to get the best from their door.
(vi) When the door is closed, light ingress is to be expected – when it’s daylight outside and
your lights are off, your garage will not be pitch black. The door seals are reasonably effective
at stopping light passage but will not eliminate it. This will be more pronounced generally where
seals meet, on seals that are between moving sections and particularly in corners
(vii) Where light can get in, so can a draft. With a well installed door that has seals in good
condition, drafts will be minimal, but the door is not sealed completely.
(viii) Under normal weather conditions water ingress should also be minimal, but you may
experience some ingress, as with light and drafts, where seals meet and in corners. Under extreme
conditions, driving rain and high winds, ingress can be expected to increase. Never jet wash a
door, not only may it damage the finish, but it can force open seals causing water ingress The
threshold is also a point where water ingress may occur. Gaps between the bottom seal and the
threshold arising from an uneven threshold or (in the case of side hinged garage doors) a poorly
fitted threshold will allow water ingress. If rain runoff can collect and pool at the bottom of a
door instead of draining away from the door into a drainage channel, water ingress may occur.
Fitting the door onto a stepped rebate behind a drainage channel is often effective in greatly
reducing the likelihood of water ingress.
GENERAL
In the event of any act of God, outbreak of war either general or local, riot or other civil
commotion, strike lock-out or act or decree of any government or any other mater beyond reasonable
control of CGDC,
(i) CGDC shall not be liable for any injury or damage of any kind thereby caused or resulting
there from; and
