Teckentrup Sectional Garage Doors

The Teckentrup GSW40 range consists of sectional garage doors that are manufactured in Germany by Teckentrup to a very high standard and specification. The door is able to combine security, style and safety as standard, along with some unique features that make it the best door solution in many circumstances.

Teckentrup Sectional Styles

The Teckentrup GSW40 sectional doors are available in several attractive panel designs – Georgian panelled and Horizontal ribbed being the 2 most popular in the UK - both options are manufactured with 40mm thick, insulated steel panels.

Each door panel is finished with a woodgrain texture as a standard feature; this is pressed into the steel material before final finishing. 

There is however, also the option of a smooth, stucco or micrograin surface finish on most design options for a very different aesthetic effect to the front face of the door.

Teckentrup sectional doors are available in a choice of three finishes – standard paint finish, high grade laminate woodgrain or polymer paint finish, all resulting in a beautiful, low maintenance and durable exterior. Teckentrup's sectional doors are built to last; they have a two year warranty on all parts and a five year warranty on safe and reliable operation. Plus, there's a further ten year warranty given on the exterior finish of the door. 

The electric motors offered all have a five year guarantee.

Teckentrup Sectional Security Features

Teckentrup GSW 40 sectional garage doors offer excellent security as standard with multilatch two point locking and optional bolts on all manually operated doors. Patented, galvanised, wear resistant hinges make the interlocking door panel sections extra secure, with quadruple folded steel at all hinge fixing points for solid attachment of the hinges to the panel sections.

Each door panel section is incredibly strong by its design with double skinned high strength galvanised steel enclosing a rigid layer of environmentally friendly insulating foam in 40mm thick panels. The door when closed is held within the frame and tracks at 10 separate points to ensure a solid, tight fit with no obvious gaps for the opportunist thief to attempt to jemmy.

Rubber sealing is standard to the sides and head of the steel frame with a large rubber compression seal affixed to the bottom panel to prevent leaves, dust, rain and the like from entering your garage. The operation movement of a sectional garage door ensures very good clearance during opening and closing to give maximum use of garage length especially if keeping a large 4 wheel drive vehicle or van with a tall flat rear end.
The drive through width and height are also maximised when the door is fully open with an electric operator fitted.

Techentrup Sectional Colours

The standard colour most used is white paint finish. Most powdercoat RAL colours are also available and you will need to specify the exact RAL number when ordering. The colours below are 'trend' colours offering excellent value for money as a standard range of optional colours readily available from Germany.

Standard RAL Finishes

Special satin metallic effect Trend colours: 

TT9011 is priced as Wood Design door finish and therefore does not qualify as a TREND coloured door.

RAL/BS colours

If the finished colour you require you require is not available as a standard Trend colour, we are able to coat our standard panels to a RAL or BS colour. For doors coloured in this way, doors are made and cut to size from white panels and then sprayed to the required colour.

The spraying process is of a very high standard but will not be as uniform as the pre-coated steel of Trend coloured doors. Any variations in sheen or density will, however, be minor and may only be visible at very close proximity or at oblique angles in strongy directional light. Effects of this nature should not be discernible from a distance of 3 metres - a standard set by the DHF (Door & Hardware Federation).

The surface finish is low gloss and it is customary to only colour the outer surface of the door, however the inner face can be coated to match as an optional extra.

Teckentrup Sectional Safety

The Teckentrup sectional door is designed for absolute ease of operation with a unique multiple spring tension system ensuring a very smooth and easy operation at any of the available sizes, large or small. The door also incorporates a host of innovative and protective safety features to make it one of the safest you can buy. Double cables on each side and multiple springing support the door in the unlikely event of spring or cable failure, meaning the door will not drop and can still be opened or closed. The springs are also fully enclosed in trays at high level well out of the way of fingers. Interior and exterior finger protection also feature as standard on any Carteck sectional door, preventing dangerous narrow openings between panel sections during operation.

The springing system means that nearly every size of Teckentrup door only requires headroom of 115mm and will not need several structural fixings as required for front mounted torsion spring assisted sectional doors. This means the door is ideal for garages with little or no headroom to maximise the drive through height. Having many more standard heights to choose from also means you are more likely to get a door the full height of your opening rather than having to infill above a lower height door. In addition hand protection at the side of the guide rails prevent accidents between the frame and the guide rail from entrapment during operation.

Electric Operation

All remote control electric versions of the Teckentrup are recommended to be installed with either the Teckentrup 260 belt driven operator or Teckentrup 270 or 280 versions of the operator. All electric operators offer safety reverse if an obstacle is hit in either direction or the optional extra additional infra red beam system to completely inactivate  the door if an obstacle is in its path. This is usually for doors likely to be used very frequently or near public paths and highways.

2 hand held radio transmitters are supplied for control as standard with further accessories available such as keypads, keyswitches, timers, finger readers and so on. All access control systems can be tailored to suit the requirements of the household and occupants using the garage with integration into other systems also possible such as electric gatres, awnings, lighting, etc.

Teckentrup Vision Sectionals

Innovative in aesthetic design, the Teckentrup Vision range consists of glass sectional garage doors. The door models make a significant style statement for any luxury garage, whilst utilising the reliability of the standard Carteck operating mechanisms.

The range consists of two door models; the SLX, a sectional with entirely sleek glazed panels, and the GSA, the same modern style with the incorporation of mullions, adding a different dimension of design.
