How much room do I need for my door to roll up in?

How do I book for a free home visit or site survey?

What is external manual override and do I need it?
If you don’t have another entrance to your garage, for instance a side door or back door, we’d recommend that you have an external manual override installed. This allows for the garage door to be manually opened in the case of a power failure, It is a series of drives and joints coming off the motor and through the wall it is secured with a key lock to prevent anyone unauthorised from operating.
How much room is needed to fit the guide runners?
We have 75mm and 90mm tracks available.
Are your doors insulated?
Yes. all of our garage doors are insulated with a foam injected polyurethane core. The side runners are also protected with brush pile inserts to keep away draughts. We offer some of the thickest lathes on the market, meaning that you will receive a more insulating core.
What is a wireless safety edge?
A wireless safety edge is a sensor which is fitted onto the bottom of garage doors, and this can determine when the door lands on an obstruction. What this does is it safely halts the door, increasing the safety of the overall system as well as allowing for the doors to be operated on a one press open and close system. The standard mode requires the button to be held down and monitored until the door is fully closed to prevent accidents.
Are your doors electric?
