| Canopy gear is ideal for manual single doors where there
is only limited room inside the garage. When open, approximately one third of
the door sticks out to form a canopy. One disadvantage of this type of gear is
that it cannot easily be automated. |
 |
| Retractable door gear is suitable for automation;
however, the door travels back into the garage by almost it's entire height, so
care should be taken that there are no pipes or brickwork in the way. |
 |
| Sectional is probably the most
practical of doors, they offer strength, durability, vertical lifting and
draught free insulation. They do, however, tend to be space hungry, and a
specification sheet is necessary. Sectional doors are suitable for automation
and offer height and width advantage in a lot of cases. |
 |
| Roller Shutter have particular head room requirements,
normally 300mm. They are however, a good alternative when maximum width is
required and a sectional will not fit. Automation is recommended for this type
of door. |
