Default Retractable

We have the retractable screen and we love it! We have 2 remotes and when one of us is gone, we don't have to get out and move the screen(s) over to get into the garage. There is also a switch next to the regular garage door switch and a lockout switch so that the screen cannot be raised using the outdoor switch pad (doesn't affect the remote). The only problem we have had is when my husband (thank goodness it was him!) backed into it twice with the golf cart. The screen held, but the frame had to be repaired.....about $70 to repair. The second time, my neighbor came over and fixed it while the company (Michele's Screens out of Ocala) talked him through how to do it. This same neighbor has the sliders and he backed into his. It is going to cost him a fortune to fix (one quote was $500). He finally found someone but I don't know for how much and I notice that it still is not fixed after about a week.
