Electric Automation

Our Electric Garage Doors

Garage Doors can be a nuisance to open and close, especially as they get older and more difficult to open!  We think that electric automation is the best way to get around the difficulties of opening and closing your garage door.  Imagine simply pushing a button to open and close your door, saving you from having to get out of the car (in the wind and rain) to get your garage opened up so you can drive in!  We think the best bits about electric automation are:

  • Simple and easy to operate
  • Available for both new and existing doors
  • Smooth opening and closing
  • Safety precautions in place

The great thing about electric garage doors automation is that it makes opening and closing doors a breeze – even if the door is especially large.  Electric garage doors feature safety mechanisms which allow them to stop should an obstruction be in the way of the opening or closing procedure.  Let’s take a closer look at our electric automation services…

Power Unit

The power unit itself is suspended from the ceiling with angle iron or straps (depending on the available fixing points) The unit has a courtesy light on it which will stay illuminated for a period of time after the door has opened/closed. The unit also has operation buttons on it for operating at the press of a button.

Emergency Release

A cord with a toggle is available on the operator boom channel for dis-connecting the door in the event of a power-cut.

3

Boom Channel

The boom channel is approx 3000mm long and attaches the motor to the door via a belt inside. The belt is toothed and is made of Kevlar which is extremely strong and is virtually maintenance free which means no requirement for oiling. The belt also helps the modern day operators to be very quiet and have smooth opening/closing actions.

Optical Eyes

As an option on some motors you can install a pair of optical infra-red eyes to the door meaning that the door will not operate if the beam is broken and likewise will stop the door mid-travel if an obstruction is becomes detected.

5

Remote Controlled

Most operators are supplied with two remote controls and some have the ability to be used with an App via Bluetooth or even Home Automation Apps.

Canopy Bow Arm

Canopy bow arm is a system that allows a canopy style door to be automated using an electric motor. It reduces the clear drive through height of the door by up to 8 inches in some cases and is a bulky rather heavy piece of equipment that attaches to the back of the door as shown.

Canopy Tracks

The canopy door mechanism is not ideal for automation as Retractable doors with parallel tracks that run back into the garage are the preferred mechanism. Canopy doors can be automated with a Bow Arm and electric motor. ** It may be worth replacing the door completely if you are considering a automated garage door.
