Not Bike Related More Like Coach Building...

Need an item like the pic but I don’t have a name for it or a clue to where I can find one. It’s very like a generic garage door opening mech but they run solid bars at the rear which is no good to me. I need cable op only. Any clues ? Please only reply if you’ve seen something similar and can direct me. Eric

 

@Sprinter thanks but it won’t do
@stollydriver thought of that but it needs to be an existing item
@andyc1 looked at a lot of those before I put my desperate message on here
But..... cheers for the input

Ok to give the bigger picture, I’m building a prototype van accessory that’s not been done and the part I need needs to be factory manufactured as when it takes off I want to mass produce my design as I haven’t got time to mess with the time consuming fiddly bits.

 

Yes that’s looking hopeful cheers my pal

 

No it’s exactly the unit drawn I’m looking for sorry flay

 

@Sprinter, no it’s a design I’ve in my mind if that’s what you meant. I’m sure there’s summat out there that uses something like that, possibly from a maybe a classic car boot lid shut or a tool safe or in a fancy door to maybe a motorhome or horsebox compartmented. I’ve emailed the obvious companies with my picture but wether it got to counter staff who would just look and say ‘yes I know where there’s one of those’ as opposed to dim office sales who just see stuff as numbers I’m not sure.

 

Your ideas right as a second choice if I really can’t find any. I did think about using garage door mech with the T handle type with mods but I’ve a lot of hand made parts going into this already and it’ll be a real pain.

 

Usually open cables and cable tensioned lifting I only found.
