A sectional door, as the name implies, is made-up from separate sections rather than a single panel.  This allows for exceptionally smooth operation both manually and when electrically operated.

The sectional door mechanism has several distinct advantages over other mechanism types.  Sectional doors ensure maximum drive-through width because the frame fits directly behind the door jamb and also allows for greater headroom clearance, vital for taller vehicles such as 4x4s.  Even with electric operation, the door and mechanism is designed for optimum use of available garage headroom.

Another important benefit is that a sectional door employs a vertical left action, governed by rollers in vertical and horizontal tracks.  This ensures that there is no intrusive arc of travel, allowing close parking to the door, both inside and outside the garage.

To ensure a long-term resilience against the elements, hot galvanised steel is used for sectional door panels and frames.  Sections are woodgrain embossed and coated with a plastic polyester primer to provide the finest protection system available.  All Sectional doors are supplied pre-finished in white (and brown for Virtuoso) and ready-to-fit almost any sized garage opening.

Safety and Security

Garador sectional doors provide exceptional levels of safety and security.  The vertical tracks and runners employed in the opening mechanism afford excellent protection against forced opening because of the high degree of support along the full height of each edge of the door.  Also, a high security locking mechanism is employed which uses a sturdy automatic latching spring disc to grip around a solid steel bolt for further protection against forced entry. 

All sectional doors meet the latest British and European safety standards, providing injury protection from fingers trapped in hinges, panels and cable mechanisms.  Additionally, the advanced spring technology employed on both door types prevents the door from crashing down in the unlikely event of component failure.

Full Vehicle Clearance

Garador sectional doors make the most effective use of all your available garage space by allowing close parking from outside and inside your garage and by giving optimum headroom and drive-through width.



Smooth Operation

Sectional doors use adjustable track rollers to give a light, smooth, quiet and highly reliable opening action.  This smooth operation makes a sectional door the perfect partner for any of the Garador range of automatic operators for the ultimate in garage door luxury and convenience.
