All basic configurations of swing garage doors with a wicket are equipped with a reinforced 5-bar Elbor or Class lock with an increased security class. And also for more frost resistance and heat and noise insulation, we offer insulated garage doors from a 2mm solid metal sheet with sealing rubber or a 2.3.4mm metal sheet with a sealing strip and rubber. We insulate garage doors with URSA mineral wool or KNAUF mini-slab with internal door lining with 1 or 1.5 mm sheet metal or moisture-resistant plywood from 6 mm (any other material of the customer’s choice)

Lifting garage doors and their features

features of overhead garage doors
The lifting system does not take up much space. To open it, you don't need to make a lot of effort. The opening process goes like this. The sash slides up and folds. The location of the leaf is determined by the type of gate. If desired, additional elements can be mounted in the sash - windows or a gate.

Lifting gates do not swing open like regular doors, but go into the ceiling and are constructed from the following elements:

  • strong bones;
  • one-piece sash surrounded by a frame;
  • return spring device;
  • device for moving the sash.

The structures have the following positive qualities:

  1. Compactness. The gate does not take up much space.
  2. Simplicity of installation work.
  3. Automatic opening.
  4. Free lift of the sash.
  5. Silence, which is guaranteed by the mechanism for moving the canvas.

Special fittings are used for lifting sheets to ensure full operation of the device. Standard mechanisms include sealing parts that are designed to provide a tight seal. Be sure to use supports and guides on which the structures are fixed. Lifting chains and mechanisms that operate the system are also used. Installation of canvases requires compliance with technology and building codes.

Lifting garage doors, stages of installation work

installation of overhead garage doors

The gate manufacturing process consists of the following stages:

  1. Preparing the opening for the system. Vertical supports are inserted to a depth of 2 cm and secured with anchor bolts. A beam with a size of 120*80 mm is used as supports.
  2. The beam is being assembled. The horizontal beam is mounted parallel to the crossbar in the opening.
  3. To make the frame, two guide rails are made. The elements are made of 4 metal corners. Rollers will move along the rails and are fixed to the sash.
  4. Then the frame of the canvas is made. Profiles of metal corners are welded to each other and then attached to the finished box.
  5. Rollers are fixed at the corners in the upper part of the frame. For this, fasteners and a drill are used.
  6. The frame is covered with material with anti-corrosion properties. Self-tapping screws are used for the job.
  7. Vertical beams are equipped with movable brackets.
  8. At the bottom of the beams, the ends of the channels are attached to the spring.
  9. The finished canvas is hung on the frame.

To protect the garage from burglary, the gates are additionally equipped with latches and locks. Standard safety measures include locking devices. On modern structures, automation is installed, which is equipped with a protective system. Anti-jacking alarms are popular. When you try to pry the sash, a loud signal is heard, which scares away intruders. Installing remote access systems allows you to control automation from a distance. Installation of a secret locking mechanism.

Perforated profiles in the structure should be strengthened with strips. The guides must be cut so that a small tip remains for fixing the elements.

A plumb line is used to align the frames. When fixing the vertical guides, brackets are used.

lifting mechanism assembly
To equip the lifting mechanism, you can use an alarm system from the car. There should be a groove at the bottom of the canvas. It will be needed to install insulating materials. To increase illumination, the canvas can be sheathed with a special translucent material.

Painting overhead gates is not difficult. A monochrome gray palette is ideal for designs.

Preparation for construction

lift gate drawing
Preparatory work begins with choosing a suitable design. You will need project development and design drawings. When making a system with your own hands, you should choose a proven technology - a lever mechanism with a hinged mount. At the project stage, measurements of the garage opening are taken. This will allow you to correctly sketch the system.

The size of the gate is selected taking into account the parameters of the opening. The choice of size is also influenced by the mechanism used, which can be spring or torsion. The greatest width occurs in steel structures.

Before work, it is important to prepare a drawing with all dimensions. In terms of dimensions, the system should be 10 cm larger than the length of the opening. Adding centimeters will prevent gaps from occurring between the walls and the structure.

The dimensions of the opening are measured in width and height at several points. The dimensions of the frame must correspond to the parameters of the opening.

Useful tips for choosing gates

choosing a garage door design
When choosing a system, you need to decide on the installation location. The design features of door systems depend on this. The type of room also matters. Insulated fabrics are selected for a warm garage. For a cold structure, you can choose corrugated sheeting.

Certain control methods are also selected:

  • automatic;
  • remote;
  • manual.

If there is a remote control, the gate can be opened without leaving the car. To open the doors, just press the button on the remote control. When purchasing a system, it is important to pay attention to some details. The guides must have the same cross-section as in the drawings. The distance between guides and bearings must comply with standards. All joints in hinge joints must move freely from vertical to horizontal direction. A protective mechanism should be located at the folded areas of the den. The device ensures the integrity of the structure and protects against the penetration of foreign objects into the gap. A synthetic seal is attached to the bottom of the gate, protecting it from freezing. The thickness of the panels should be minimal.

If you need to install a winch, you need to correctly perform the necessary calculations - engine power, gear ratio and force. Handles and locks must be of high quality. The control panel must withstand mechanical loads.

Loops

Hinges are a very important element of the design of swing gates; the reliability of the gate and its long-term operation largely depend on them. For swing gates we use hinges of our own making: regular hinges or on thrust bearings hidden in the body of the hinge, which easily accept unilateral axial loads. Such hinges ensure ease and smooth movement of gates even with very heavy leaves, almost unlimited time. There is also a convenient mechanism for lubrication of bearings using special grease nipples.

Checking work

checking the operation of lift gates
Upon completion of installation work, adjustments are made. To do this, the structure should be opened and closed several times. Particular attention should be paid to the presence of extraneous sounds and the smooth movement of the canvas.

The mechanism must operate without extraneous noise. For this, a special lubricant is used to process the system elements.

The reasons for the lack of smooth running include the heavy weight of the blade and incorrect adjustment of the springs. If the weight is large, it is necessary to lighten the sash or reinstall the lifting mechanism, taking into account a more massive system.
