| Steel Garage Doors: There are approximately 12 standard styles of steel garage doors available from several manufacturers. They are available in standard sizes and can also be made to measure. Steel doors are sturdy and tough, and manufactured from corrosion resistant galvanized steel. They will provide years of reliable, hard wearing service. |
|
| Up & Over (Retractable): Retractable or Tracked Garage Doors use horizontal, ceiling mounted tracks to support the door in the open position. This opening mechanism is the ideal for use with electric garage door openers and is also the standard lifting gear for double sized garage doors and single garage doors over 2438mm wide.
The retractable up and over garage door gear takes slightly longer to install than canopy-based ones as the tracks are fixed to the ceiling joists inside the garage.
Security is generally good when multipoint latching is fitted to a retractable garage door. However when automated these latches are disabled and the garage door could possibly be forced open at the base depending on the quality of the operator and set-up. Make sure you choose a good quality electric garage door opener with forced entry protection. Automatic de-latching systems are available to overcome this problem if necessary. |
