Ramp up security with a better door opener

9 March, 2022

Your classic car is precious, and not just to you, so it will pay to keep it secure. Dominator garage door openers provide sophisticated electronic security for single and double sized doors.


All Dominator openers come with Tri-tran 128 technology for enhanced reliability and security. And Dominator’s optional Smart Phone Control Kit gives you full remote control of your door via your smart phone wherever you are in the world. The app also gives you real-time alerts, 24/7 monitoring and activity logs.

Dominator openers feature advanced security against code grabbing devices, an excellent operating range and suffer no interference from other wireless devices such as baby monitors and door bells. Handily, they also have four remote buttons so that you can operate multiple doors or gates, even at different locations — the home and bach, for example.


Naturally, as complete garage door professionals, Dominator provides a skilled measure, quote and installation service. For more information on Dominator’s latest openers, call 0800 366 462, visit a Dominator dealer, or check out their expert security tips at dominator.co.nz

Our parliament is currently considering a member’s Bill, drawn by ballot, called the ‘Right to Repair’ Bill.
It’s due to go a Select Committee for consideration, and we can make submissions ie say what we think of it, before 3 April this year. It’s important because it will make spare parts and information for doing repairs far more readily available and this should slow the rate at which appliances, toys and so on get sent to landfill.

1959 Sunbeam Alpine: A road trip with Lady P

The romance of the road
The South Island begins to reveal its unbelievable beauty and clarity of light as we weave and bend past mountain peaks, blue flowing rivers, and bright green forests. Today, while the cutlery wheel continues to chime, there are no morbid rattles, and we are still alive. The road moves beneath us and I start to really understand what a road trip is all about: the warm analogue hum of the engine, the sensory overload of wind and sun, the dreamy pageant of shapes and colour that glides by like a movie set, not a cloud in the sky.
