Up and Over Garage Doors Bromley

Canopy: Canopy door gear has traditionally been the most popular type of gear system used on up and over garage doors. They are reasonably priced and quick and easy to fit. The weight of the door is usually counterbalanced with a torsion spring that runs across the top of the garage door frame. This is anchored to the door with cables running down each side of the door.

Canopy doors do not need any tracks going back into the garage and they offer pretty much the full available drive through width as the mechanism does not take up any additional space in the opening. Canopy door gear is usually only available on doors up to 8ft wide as this type of mechanism does not work as effectively with heavier doors. Although some manufacturers including Henderson garage doors, did at one stage introduce some larger models with reinforced canopy gear.

Retractable: As their name suggests, retractable doors fully ‘retract’ back into the opening when the door is in the open position. This type of door gear requires horizontal tracks running back inside the garage.

The weight of the door is usually counterbalanced with springs attached to arms on either side of the garage door which does slightly reduce the drive though width.

Retractable door gear is much more robust, and the side spring mechanism can support the heavier double size doors that are wider than 8ft.

Retractable up and over garage door gear is an exceptionally reliable, robust and smooth operating mechanism that can easily be automated without the need for any additional conversion equipment.
