Hormann Up & Over Doors Technical Information
Up & over garage doors come in two types of gear either Canopy or Retractable. The main difference between the two is in the action the door takes to open. Up & over garage doors come in a variety of materials such as Steel, Timber, Upvc & GRP. All up & over garage doors require a frame to fit to, this can be either Timber or Steel (Steel would be our recommendation).
The information contained on this website for up & over garage doors is based upon the Hörmann up & over garage door.

Two point locking as standard with hard PVC latches in tough zinc diecast housings that engage automatically and quietly at either side of the door into steel latch keeps.
Four point locking arrangement is available as a factory fitted optional extra.

down the sides act as reliable side trap guards
between the door & frame.

between the spring windings is so small that even children’s
fingers are reliably
