garage door

GARAGE DOORS
The insulated roller garage door supplied by DP combines the convenience of power operation with the advantage of smooth vertical opening allowing you to park right up to the door.

The remote control unit enables you to open and close the door from inside your car. Meanwhile the tightly coiling roller door creates more space inside the garage to accommodate high top off-road vehicles or people carriers. Where mains power is not available, we have a manual version for single size doors.

All models are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9002 in a strong corrosion-resistant aluminium with an insulating core. Once installed, the DP door is essentially maintenance free and comes complete with a comprehensive
two year guarantee on all manufactured parts.

This revolutionary yet affordable garage door concept has been painstakingly designed and refined to improve on many of the virtues of both conventional steel roller doors and sectional doors, particularly in terms of:
• Insulation
• Quality of finish
• Flexibility of installation
• Headroom requirement
• Ease of fitting & repair
• security

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CURTAIN & BOTTOM SEAL
Each curtain is made of individual aluminium slats which are insulated with non-CFC foam. A dense brush seal (patent pending), firmly secured to the inner face of the curtain, significantly reduces operating noise and wear while providing excellent insulation enhancement. The powder coated extruded aluminium bottom slat provides greater deflection strength and incorporates 2 safety stops plus a 20mm rubber seat.

GUIDE RAILS
75mm or 90mm wide x 35mm deep extruded aluminium guide rails incorporate a running strip on the inside of the outer face. Where visible from the outside, they can be powder coated as an optional extra. 90mm guides are supplied as standard on garage doors over 4600mm overall width or as an option for enhanced security or wind resistance on narrower widths.

HEADPLATES AND AXLE
The 3mm galvanised steel head plates are designed to fit into the top of the guide rails for easy location during installation. Universal brackets enable the motor to be located at either side of the door, while flanged rollers (patent pending) significantly reduce noise and wear. Axles are either 70mm octagonal or 100mm round galvanised steel.

MOTOR
Each electrically operated door is powered by a 240V German engineered Elero tubular motor. An internal manual override facility is supplied as standard and comes complete with a detachable winding handle. If required, an emergency low-level external manual override can be ordered separately.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
A 240V control system with integral radio receiver and push button is supplied with two mini transmitters as standard. Transmitters have an automatic code which changes after each operation for greater security, separate colour coded control buttons and a low battery indicator. Lost transmitters can easily be deleted. Radio controls are DTI approved 433 MHz frequency.

SAFETY PHOTOCELL
This device is designed to sense obstructions in the path of the door. In the event that the infrared beam is broken while the door is closing, the curtain stops immediately and then returns to the fully open position. Safety photocells come complete

MANUAL OPERATION
Doors up to 300mm overall width can be manually operated. This is achieved by fitting a torsion spring in place of the tubular motor. The roller door is secured closed by a slam lock (patent pending) and high security 7 pin lock, situated conveniently in the centre of the curtain. This innovative mechanism means that it is not necessary to hold the door down with one hand, while operating a key with the other.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
STANDARD FACE FIX INSTALLATION

Here the inside edge of the guide rails line up with the brick opening. However the flush fitting head plates and flat design of the guide rails make the size of the door and positioning of the guide rails less critical. A subframe is not required unless the structure is very uneven. Moreover, if maximising the width of the opening is not important, an existing subframe can be retained with the door installed in line with the timber opening

ALTERNATIVE FACE FIX INSTALLATIONS

Subject to achieving a secure fixing close to the corner of the wall, the flat design of the guide rail facilitates overlapping the opening by up to a maximum of 25mm on each side. This type of installation is frequently required to negotiate cables or pipes which are located in the corner of the garage. Alternatively, the door can be manufactured oversize to cover the internal brick reveals partially or completely.

REVEAL FIX - INSTALLATION IN THE OPENING OR BETWEEN WALLS

If the door is manufactured to the exact opening width, it can be installed within the aperture. This may also depend on the available headroom above to accommodate the coil. If the coil is going to be visible from the outside, an external facia will be required. Once again, as the outer edge of the guide rail and the mounting plate are completely in line, the DP door can be installed flat against any wall.

HEADROOM REQUIREMENT

The small coil diameter is one of the DP door’s strengths. Just 300mm headroom is required inside the garage for doors up to 2500mm opening height and 350mm for doors up to 3500mm opening height. We strongly recommend that a minimum 55mm of bottom slat should hang down into the guide rails when the door is fully raised. below this is the “drive through height”. Consequently, if a completely clear opening is required, the guide height will need to be a minimum of 55mm taller than the opening.
