retractable and canopy frames
Retractable Doors
A large proportion of the door swings outwards along tracks as it opens and then slides away into the ceiling of your garage, pivot points are located at the top of the door.
These doors are fitted with spring assemblies to the side frames and tracks to the top which support the top of the door, the latter being secured a couple of meters into your garage. They are however the easiest type of door to automate with any electric opener being suitable.
Contact us for technical specifications.
Canopy Doors
The door swings outwards as it opens (but not so much as a retractable door) it then slides upwards into the ceiling of your garage leaving one-third of the door protruding outside the garage and taking up less room inside. You are unable to park too close to the garage door.
Pivot points are located two-thirds of the way down the door, which helps improve the security of the door. Pre-framed versions are available.
Canopy doors are fitted with door mounts to the door frame and no tracks are required inside the garage. These doors are not recommended for automation.
