The traditional one piece garage door is the simple up and over, available in a wide selection of designs, colours, styles and finishes.
The type of door everyone thinks of when you say “garage door”; we provide up and overs in two choices of gear operation.
Canopy gear is the more traditional leaving about one third of the door as a protruding canopy. These lift on vertical tracks, with no horizontal tracks going back into the opening. Canopy doors have a large overhead spring
that fits to the back of a frame and are only
suited for manual operation.
Retractable gear doors can be used on single or double doors. They have horizontal tracks that hang back within the roof space and the door retracts nearly all the way into the garage. Retractable doors have springs that are fitted down each side
and can easily be electrically operated.
Good secure locking mechanisms are offered as standard with up and over garage doors, optional extra locking devices are available – please ask for details
Made from materials like fibreglass, ABS, steel and timber up and over doors can be powder coated into almost any colour, given timber effect or left as a basic primed steel surface for you to finish however you like.
