Up and Over Doors

Choosing an operating mechanism that is suitable for your garage is as important as choosing the right door panel. Here we explain the difference between the two types of Up and Over mechanisms.


Canopy Door with steel frame
A single canopy door mechanism is contained within the door frame with no horizontal tracks protruding into the garage space. When opened, the door forms a ‘canopy’ with roughly one third of the door outside the garage. This is the best option for manual operation.
