Is your garage door OK for all garage doors openers?
Short, safe, answer is: One piece up-and-over, and sectional
garage doors;
Fully retracting garage doors, one-piece, up-and-over garage
doors, Sectional garage doors
Some sliding garage doors.
The truth is, there are only a few basic designs of garage
doors. Here are the main ones.
One piece up-and-over retracting garage doors like this
Dexxo 800
Dexxo 1000
depending on door size
Somfy Garage door openers will suit these garage doors.
This model retracts fully into the garage - occasionally with a
few inches only, no more than six or so - projecting past the opening
in the open position.
The panel is held captive at each corner and connected to
the door gear, and door frame, in one way or another. Springs are
at each side of the door.
That's it. Simple isn't it?
Well ... some older types don't have springs, using instead, concrete
weights - on cables - at each side. If all else is as described
then they are in this category.
