Electric Timber Doors
Electric Timber Doors
An electric timber up and over garage door is always a great option to create a traditional style for the garage and home, bringing a unique warmth to any property.
Timber garage doors are mainly constructed from Cedarwood timber, but are also available in Oak, Accoya, Nordic Pine and Idigbo at extra cost.
When we refer to a basic up and over door, we refer to the simpler designs in cedar wood, often with marine ply backing and in standard factory finishes with no complex design or window options.
This price range category refers to a fully retractable operated mechanism with a standard colour treatment finish, including all required hardware. There is also a steel box section outer fixing frame or a timber frame, also finished to match the door.
The electric operator will have 2 hand held radio transmitters and an internal manual release in case of a power failure.
Price
Expect to pay between £ and £ inc. VAT.
This price includes:
- Installation
- Fully retractable operating gear
- Good quality electric motor drive
- Basic panel design
- Choice of factory microporous finishes
EXTRAS: Details such as trimming around the door frame, weatherseals on the ground and upgrades on the locking will push the price up slightly.
Our basic designs in ribbed variations include as standard a 2 point rod locking system (not inferior cable locking), and although on a very basic installation this is disconnected and the electric operator does the locking, we always advise the use of a ‘security de latch’ mechanism. This is to incorporate the manual locking along with the locking provided by the electric operator.
To keep the installation basic and fitted within one day, we would expect there to be a separate pedestrian door access to the garage, power supply available nearby, with sufficient hanging points on the garage ceiling for the door tracks and the operator boom.
TIP: Always be aware of exactly what you are getting in the quote as a finished job, so you are able to compare like for like, and make an informed choice.

Features
Security
The basic locking on an electric timber up and over door uses the electric operator mechanism to hold the garage door panel closed firmly. However, there will be some degree of flexing if the door panel is tested by force at the bottom, especially the larger the door panel.
A small upgrade of approximately £60 - £80 is available to adapt the 2 point bottom latch steel rod and slam latch locking system, so it can be used with the electric motor drive to effectively give you 3 point active locking. Combined with the steel outer box section fixing frame, the basic security is actually quite good.
Colours & Finishes
For this price example we are offering the standard factory finishes which are highly recommended.
Many manufacturers may offer additional timber finishes, including solid colour finishes. These are usually microporous, water-based stains used for the best longevity, always allowing the timber to breathe rather than blister under an older style oil based paint.
Ease of Use
Being an electric door, operation consists of a simple push of a button on a handheld transmitter.
It is also possible to link a lot of modern electric operator systems with a smart home system, such as from Somfy, allowing you to utilise your smart phone or tablet to control the door.
If there is a power cut, you have to enter the garage by another door and release the mechanism to operate the door manually, which will be quite effortless. If there is no other access then there is a release mechanism which is attached to the handle or drilled into the panel as a key release mechanism with cable attachment.
OUR VIEW: from 35 years of experience...
We find most customers either love timber or avoid it. Timber can be a great material if it is specified and treated correctly in the first place. It is repairable and can last for many years, often longer than inferior steel doors. The up and over door mechanism will usually last many, many years with no issues at all.
Manufacturers such as Woodrite, Hormann and Garador make the very best up and over timber doors for the UK, with high quality galvanised and zinc plated components for durability, and confidence in the overall integrity.
Always try to buy with the steel fixing sub frame or the factory prepared and finished timber frame options, as these will offer a better overall package as well as improved security and weather protection. The electric operators have little effort in opening and closing a single garage door panel, so they are not stressed in any way.
The only downside with a retractable up and over door is that they do swing out a fair way during operation.
