Choosing an operating mechanism that is suitable for your garage door is as important as selecting the right door panel design. This section shows the four main types of mechanisms and shows some of our most popular designs. All door types are available in automatic or manual operation.

Up & Over Garage Doors

Up & over doors are the most popular type of mechanism within the UK, with a vast range of door styles available and ideal for garages where there is limited headroom. Up & overs are available in manual or automatic operation.

Roller Garage Doors

Roller shutter doors open vertically forming a compact roll above the opening, this allows you to have maximum drive through width and height for your garage and park close up to the door. This type of door is available as insulated and single skinned. Roller shutters are available in manual or automatic operation.

Sectional Garage Doors

Sectional doors, as the name implies, are made up of four separate sections, this allows the door to open vertically like a roller shutter but store in the roof space like an up & over. Again you have maximum drive through width and height and can park close up to the door. This type of door is available as insulated and single skinned. Sectional garage doors are available in manual or automatic operation.

Side Hinged Garage Doors

Side hinged doors offer traditional appeal with simple personal access and are ideal if you have obstructions within the garage. Side hinged doors are available in manual or automatic operation.

Automatic operators

Our range of electric door operators can allow you to drive straight into your garage without having to leave the comfort of the car to battle the elements on a dark stormy night. We can automate your existing or new garage door with ease.
