At Access Garage Doors we offer two types of up & over garage doors:
Canopy
The canopy mechanism in an up and over garage door is most often used for single sized garage doors. It is contained within the door frame with no horizontal tracks protruding into the garage space, giving it a modern, streamlined look. When opened, the door extends slightly from the building, creating a ‘canopy’.
A canopy up & over garage door operates on vertical tracks attached to the side frame. It is spring operated with a single cable and on opening, the door pivots to form a canopy, which slides into the garage roof. This allows the doors to be operated manually with little to no exertion, enabling ease of use for every household
Canopy garage doors are popular thanks to their classic and simple design. They can be automated, with a bow arm converter required for seamless operation.
Retractable Garage Doors
The retractable door mechanism is perfect for both single and double-sized up and over garage doors. The door slides completely into the garage on tracks and is ideally suited for automated operation.
Retractable up & over garage doors, unlike canopy garage doors, operate on horizontal tracks, allowing the door to swing outward before fully retracting along the roof into the garage.
Retractable garage doors have the practical benefit of being more robust and able to lift greater weight than canopy garage doors, with a gentler operating mechanism, making them not only ideal for larger or double garage doors, but also safe and secure.
