gear operation
Cardale offer ranges of doors operating in several different ways. Depending on your preference and the physical characteristics of your garage, some types of operation may be more suitable for you than others:
Canopy
Up and over canopy doors are the most popular style of lifting gear in the UK with a vast range of door styles to suit. Ideally matched to where there is limited headroom for tracks.
Retractable
An alternative lifting gear for use with up and over doors. Horizontal Tracks are attached to the top of the door frame to guide the door open, providing an exceptionally smooth opening and closing action, which is ideal for electric operation.
Steel Line
Vertical opening allows ‘park-right-up’ convenience, whilst the extension or torsion spring operation gives a super smooth mechanism. Enclosed moving parts and push away joints to the panels make for finger safe operation.
Thermaglide 77
Roller doors travel vertically, forming a compact coil above the opening, meaning minimum space requirements both inside and out. Slimmed down versions requiring even less headroom are available for both the Thermaglide and Steel-line range.
Thermaglide 55
Roller doors travel vertically, forming a compact coil above the opening, meaning minimum space requirements both inside and out. Slimmed down versions requiring even less headroom are available for both the Thermaglide and Steel-line range.
Side Hinged
Popular ‘traditional’ operation and ideal if there are obstructions within the garage. Excellent security and very durable construction ensure a long trouble-free service and automation is available as an option.
