Thanks. I have actually considered looking into a belt drive since my garage is actually under my house around back adjacent to our walk out basement.

With the kitchen/den area being above the garage...it is pretty loud with my current chain driven doors.

and here i thought on a slow sunday evening they're just sitting around the campfire. but alas they're fighting fire all day and night.

and here i thought the FD was to help the public and get kittens outta tree's and other random shit..........i guess they're only for fire nowadays.

do you have a doggy door? next time push April through and have her unlock you from the inside!

[Dragonpaco]

they are there for fucking fires and emergencies. not because you are too stupid to call a locksmith. i cherish what downtime i have at the squad because at any minute i could be out for an entire shift and if some pompous ass acted like his non emergency was my civic duty and expected it was free. i'd give him a locksmith's number and go right back to the station

we did call a locksmith, found out the FD is "free" and more expediant

glad not all firefighters/EMTs are like you. dunno about pompous we were very cordial and appreciative of them coming out.

sounds like you need more stations or people.

how soon should we expect a bill?

and why would they come and advertise the door opening service? vs not telling anyone?

wow, like even mowing the yard, workin on the car/bike? walkin to the mailbox

me i never carry keys.

the same reason the police advertise lockout services for cars. and i'm really glad all civillians aren't like you or my job would be a whole lot worse, it's fine dealing with people who needs us or can;t halp themselves. but helping people too cheap to pay; that would be a dealbreaker for me

i'm not sure how long it will take for you to get a bill. chances are they wrote out a dispatch report and at the end of the month they'll review for QA purposes and then send out a bill. and i'm sure when you receive the bill you'll call and argue and say how your taxes pay their salaries and completely forget that emergency services are one of the most under appreciated services when it comes to township funding.

I have my keys on me any time I have pants on, which I put on immediately after my shower. I don't take a shower, I don't go outside. Of course, my doors lock from the outside too.

As long as I have my pants on, I have my keys.
And usually that's 2 sets of keys. House/work keys, and vehicle key(s).

That way I don't have to carry key's for all the vehicles around with me.
