Ok, so here was my material list for French doors:
-12 VDC Power supply
-(2) RollerTrol Non-radio Tubular Motors (6 lb lift)
-12 VDC Reversible Controller
-Just Blinds.com Express Room Darkening Roller Shades (Ordered correct size to cut in half to make two)
-RollEase 1.5" tubing (144") cut down for shipping
-(2) Insteon I/O Linc (one for Up and one for Down)
-(2) RCI 9503 Ball Contacts (to get DC power from Door Header into Doors)
-1/8" X 1" steel for hem tab (Lowes)
-1/4" Aluminum U Channel Doubled side taped to door (Lowes)
I also recall I removed the shade from the JustBlinds roller and double sided taped it to the RollEase and then cut it down to size with my aluminum chop saw.
The hardest part of the job was routering in place the mortise for the ball contacts into the head of the door frame. I took the doors off to do the tops of them.
