Having purchased a new car with the HomeLink built-in remote system I was disappointed to find my Seceuroglide doors were not compatible....  A quick internet search and I found Nick at Amourelle who was very helpful and pointed me in the direction of a couple of Seip radio receivers and a mini key fob.  Quick posting and a few minutes installation (really was simple with the on-line instructions and diagram) and I can now operate both garage doors from the comfort of my car. Great customer service. Thanks

I bought our Seip EKR1MCG receiver unit to replace the old, discontinued Stanley receiver unit of which I lost both remote transmitters!! My email enquiries were answered very promptly and the replies were very helpful. I have only just plucked up the courage to fit the new unit as usually 'simple' things inevitably result in difficulties. However, it really was the easiest transmitter to  fit, and took only a few minutes; just as the description said!

I received the Seip EKR1MCG and midi-remote within a week and it took me a mere 5 mins to install and operate. Saved £50 by doing it myself. It’s really cool, as I can open the garage door before even getting into my road now. Instructions were very helpful and right to the point. My former system was a Birtley/Henderson system with bulky receiver and remote. Thanks for all your help!

I bought a Seip EKR1MCG remote control receiver upgrade kit on Thursday afternoon, It arrived on Friday before 1pm. Great product! and an absolute doddle to fit. Also bought midi and mini remote controls. Can now drive up and open the garage door as I'm coming into the street.   Brilliant company, brilliant product!  Get rid of your old Wessex Liftboy Brick of a remote control!

Superb website with excellent information, friendly, helpful telephone advice.
I ordered a Seip EKR1MCG upgrade kit mid-day and it was delivered next morning. Clear instructions provided for fitting.  Handset's pre-programmed & ready to use. Who could want more from a dealer? Fantastic service!

I received my EKR1MCG receiver today along with three mini-transmitters. Wiring it to my Hormann Supramatic door operator was done in 3 mins, with help from the website pictures. It now works perfectly.  Great stuff ! Cheers, Philippe

Mine took seven minutes for me to fit...couldn't reach, I had to find the step-ladder! Works even better than the old one...less bulky too!  Very pleased with the quick delivery. Thanks!

I have just received and fitted (in 5 mins!) your Seip EKR1MCG 433Mhz receiver & keyfob transmitter kit to my Henderson garage door operator.  Just amazing.  So simple to fit, already pre-programmed so instantly ready for use, and good range. Excellent delivery time of 24 hours. Delighted. thank you.

6 months have past since I installed the Seip remote control replacement for my worn out Henderson system. Its operation has proved faultless since the day I installed it. Not only is it a very price competitive product, its installation is straightforward with clear precise instructions, the product performs well, the size of the remote is small and it is easy to use and most importantly Amourelle supplied the system immediately on receipt of my order. What more could a customer ask of its supplier?

We have just purchased a new Seip EKR1MCG remote control conversion kit for our garage door that has had a Henderson remote on it for 25 years. It took one day for the kit to arrive on our door step after ordering it on line, It came with full instructions and a screwdriver, only took 15 mins to fit , great that something's in life really are that easy. Well done

I have a Slave-Dor 838 door opener and bought the Seip EKR1MCG upgrade to replace faulty old remote controls. Absolutely no problems fitting the Seip  upgrade kit.  The instructions were clear and the remote controls worked first time. I would recommend this product and the level of service I received.

Exceptionally fast service - ordered a Seip EKR1MCG upgrade kit late afternoon, arrived next morning by early post! Fitting consisted of just loosening 3 screws, pulling out old wiring, pushing in the 3 fork-style connectors behind the screws and tightening them back up again - less than 2 minutes. The hardest part was attaching the supplied little metal key ring to the mini key fob (bit fiddly!). After months of traipsing around the side of the garage to manually operate the door switch, I now have a fully working remote-controlled system again - oh joy!!

Before I found your website through Google I was wondering how I was going to continue operating my Stanley garage door opener as the original grey transmitters (no longer available) were on their last legs. Fitting your Seip receiver upgrade kit has solved the problem admirably and at a very good price. Moreover it was as easy and quick to fit as you claimed. Thank you very much.

I placed my order using your website at 4pm and the goods were delivered next day at 8am. Brilliant service! The Seip replacement receiver upgrade kit for the original Wessex Liftboy Receiver system is a quality product. It really did take just 2 minutes to install and has minimal range reduction when installed in parallel with the original system and both systems work perfectly. It has provided a cost effective solution for providing additional keyfobs when the original system is obsolete. Thanks.

Possibly the worlds first plug and play product !! Easy installation, no fiddly setup required. I took about 3 minutes flat to get it up and running and I'm very impressed. The mini zapper fitted on my car key ring is great and I took the larger zapper and wall mounting bracket for in the garage very satisfied with the lot.

I upgraded my 16 year old Henderson 880 deluxe remotes with the Seip EKR1MCT 230v mains powered receiver system. I was well impressed. It arrived within 2 days. I had it working first time within 30 minutes. Money well spent glad to get rid of the old house brick type remotes. definitely recommended.

I Bought a Seip EKR1MCG 24 volt receiver/keyfob kit to update my Hormann Ecomatic garage door operator.  I have to say the fitting was extremely easy and genuinely <5min from start to finish.  Pre-sales technical support from Nick Goldring was impressive & faultless.  The Seip mini keyfob remotes are also much nicer (& smaller) than the Hormann ones.  Buy with confidence!

I lost the remote control for a very old Apex 375 garage door operator, with the original Apex remote controls no longer available I was told by a local company I would have to fit a complete new electric operator system at a cost of £465.    I sent an email to Amourelle to ask for advice, seconds later I had a reply and my answer. Nick at Amourelle recommended the Seip EKR1MCT 230v mains powered receiver upgrade kit, well it done what it says on the side of the tin and at a fraction of the cost of a new system.  Very simple to install, even my 85 year old gran could have fitted it. So don’t waste your time looking around anymore, go to the experts Amourelle – excellent product, excellent service and an excellent price. Thank you Amourelle.

Nick,  Thanks for the prompt despatch of the SEIP EKR1MCT 230v mains powered receiver and keyfobs which I ordered late on Thursday afternoon and then was acknowledged by email in less than an hour and a despatch notification issued inside another hour.   The kit arrived by post on Saturday morning and I fitted it on Saturday afternoon in between watching sport on TV. The kit is surprisingly compact compared to the "bricks" it was replacing. The wiring was quite straightforward for a non expert.  The website was great in identifying a solution to my long running problem of replacing a 30 year old receiver which I had long given up on getting repaired. Being able to ring you to discuss my old Moore-O-Matic operator before ordering gave me the confidence to go ahead.

I replaced my 20 year old garage door remote control system with a Seip EKR1MCG transmitter/receiver upgrade kit. The entire process, including a trial installation to ensure it was compatible with my very old kit, took 20 minutes. Quick delivery and clear, accurate instructions: what more can one ask?

Well I have done it !  It took me longer than others to install the Seip EKR1MCT remote control upgrade kit to my roller door because of my poor eyesight and lack of confidence. But to my surprise it worked first time. I phoned for advice - more for reassurance than necessity. It was consoling to know that someone at the other end of the line knew what was required.

Looked at one or two "universal" replacement door remote controls, but found that when the specification was gone into they were not "universal".  However the Seip EKR1MCT appeared to fit my requirements, and when it arrived it was, indeed, as easy to install as was claimed, and worked first time. I am delighted to have my garage door operator working again.

Anyone even considering a Seip EKR1MCG remote control receiver kit :- The equipment works easily - its installation takes literally 5 minutes. But if you've little electrical knowledge, like me, consider the back-up service you get!  Anything you need to know, any time, the craziest of problems, this company is at the end of an e-mail. This has been the best service I have received for a product like this literally for years - USE THEM !!! THEY'RE THE BEST!!!

I've just purchased a Seip EKR1MCG radio system upgrade kit.   A quantum leap from my old Sellotaped Telectron system. Ordered at 13.45 Friday arrived 09.45 next day. Fitting time 4 minutes. Brilliant in all respects . Many thanks .

Delivery was exactly as stated (i.e. next day). My only criticism is that the instructions do not mention which terminals to connect on a Moore-O-Matic model, but I soon worked it out with the aid of the picture on the web site. After this it only took 5 minutes to install and then it worked perfectly. As other reviewers have said, the range is excellent.

I said to the wife I will have it all done (2 controls) in half an hour, and it turned out to be less than that. It worked as well. The fact you had programmed it for me made my life a lot simpler. I got loads of "Brownie Points." The only thing that went wrong was that I twisted my ankle when I fell off the rickety chair I was standing on. This product is 60 times smaller than my old remote which means I can buy smaller trousers!!!!

This product is excellent and works significantly better than my original remote control system. A major improvement is that you cannot catch the 'down button' accidentally and close the door whilst someone is coming out of the garage. That saves its purchase price straight away!!!

I ordered a Seip EKR1MCG remote control receiver & keyfob upgrade kit for my garage door on-line, the parcel arrived the next day and has now been fitted by me. Let me say that both your service and the product are excellent. I am usually a fairly fussy consumer but in this case I only have praise. The product, which is minute compared to the old controls, works perfectly and I fitted it in about five minutes. All in all very pleased indeed.  Regards & Many thanks  Roger White

Seip EKR1MCG receiver upgrade kits for 2 garages and gate ordered at around 10am Monday morning. To replace 20 year old system, in the case of the gate in box buried in hedge with accompanying difficulty of access. All fitted and working with 6 transmitters programmed by 10.15 Tuesday morning with telephone 'consultancy' to cover confusing labelling on old receivers. Exemplary service - An excellent product delivered by a friendly professional company.

Service superb and delivery of my order for a Seip EKR1MCG remote control upgrade kit for my Slave-Dor garage door operator was unbelievably fast. My only criticism is that your instructions as read by a prime technological idiot made it appear more difficult than it really was, .... I had it installed and working in 5 minutes
