Up and Over Garage Door Types:
Canopy Garage Doors
This kind of garage door opens outward initially, though not as far as a retractable door, and then shifts and tilts upward into the roof space your garage, with one-third of the door extending outside while minimising the space it occupies inside. Pivot points are positioned two-thirds down the door, improving its security. Additionally, pre-framed options can be found.
Canopy doors are straightforward to install since the entire structure attaches directly to the frame, eliminating the need for tracks inside the garage. However, the automation of canopy doors is generally not advised.
Retractable Garage Doors
If you prefer not to have a third of the garage door protruding when it's open, consider our fully retractable up and over mechanism. This garage door design allows the door to swing out more as it opens but then seamlessly slides into the upper part of your garage.
The installation of these doors is relatively straightforward, as spring assemblies are attached to the side frames and tracks positioned at the top, which provide support for the upper portion of the door. The top track is fastened a few meters inside your garage. The retractable garage doors are the best kind of door to automate, as any electric opener will work well with them.
