Dimensions
The dimensions of sectional garage doors should allow to park the vehicle comfortably and without the risk of mechanical damage. To do this, it is necessary to calculate the optimal height and width of the garage, taking into account the number of cars and their dimensions.
According to the existing standard, the width should be 2.5 m, and the height is 2 m. Ready-made structures according to these standards are available, but most often the manufacturer makes garage doors for the order of car owners, taking into account individual wishes and indicators.
Before ordering, consider the following points:
- height and width of the opening;
- distance from the upper boundary of the entrance to the ceiling;
- the depth of entry of the canvas;
- side distance.
Sectional doors may require more space in the area of the ceiling and on the sides due to the need to install an electric drive and guides.
The DoorHan company produces standard doors with a height of 2.1 m and with a width of 2.5 m, 2.75 m and 3 m.
How to choose?
When choosing a gate must be based on indicators such as:
- Garage door dimensions. It is necessary to consider the availability of free space in the ceiling area, as well as the dimensions of the vehicle;
- The thickness of the canvas and the type of "sandwich" panels. If the room is unheated, then a small thickness of the web is sufficient;
- Automation. Depending on the dimensions of the canvas, it is necessary to select a drive of sufficient power;
- Security systems. There should be protection against cable breaks, springs, sash drops, fire protection.

Installation
Before installation, you need to bring the floor and walls in a perfectly flat state, there should be no defects. All this may lead to further installation of the gate.

- We collect all the panels and guides.
- We start the installation of mechanisms (torsion, support brackets), guides, "sandwich" -panels.
- We fix the cables and springs, adjust their position.
After performing these steps, you can proceed to mounting them to the ceiling, as well as installing the electric drive. In the very last line is the installation of optional additional elements: locks, handles and much more. When the structure is fully assembled and secured, the movement of the gate is checked.
It is important to carry out a high-quality tension of the springs in order to avoid their sagging or excessive tension.
There is also the possibility of tapping the gate, which, thanks to the use of aluminum profiles, retains the attractive appearance of the gate. Specifically for each model of the door attached instructions for assembling structures.
Customization
Setting up the sectional door is to adjust the extreme positions of the blade, the correctness of its movement along the guides and programming remote controls. The instructions supplied with the design, painted all the details of these works.
