Insulated Electric Sectional Door Price Guide

White tends to be the standard colour finish but recently many manufacturers have added black and anthracite grey to the list as the demand has grown so much. There tends to also be around 16 optional standard colours to choose from at a small extra charge with any RAL or British Standard colour reference is also possible with additional charges depending on the popularity and availability of the colour.

There will be some woodgrain laminate foil coating finishes and some manufacturers now offer a massive choice using this technology and can simulate a lot of woodgrains and finishes not possible in paint. Printing is also possible on a specific range we offer and that means you can literally have whatever you want on the front of the sectional door… Literally anything!!

The sectional garage door has the most colour and finish options of any standard door type available.

A sectional door is designed as a manual spring assisted door in its basic form and therefore has manual locking as a manual door. The standard locking is good, a large and unique internal latching mechanism which is locked via a euro profile hardened cylinder. However, most sectional garage doors are bought as electric operated and then the manual locking is left out completely  and the electric boom type operator which drives the door is the locking. Most modern operators have some kind of security mechanism and a manual override internally but some go a bit further and some have even been given the Secure by Design accreditation when specified in a certain way.

A sectional door by its very nature is very secure compared to most other garage door types because of the strength of the double skinned steel panels and the multiple rollers either side encapsulated into steel tracks. Forcing a sectional door is not going to get much movement at all, they sit solid and defiant when closed.. If a good quality electric operator is set up properly then trying to force the door from the ground upwards is near on impossible for a person with basic tools.

With the standard electric operator option all you have to do is press a button either on one of the 2 hand transmitters supplied or the wall mounted control station which sits inside your garage with a built in courtesy light also built in.

If there is a power cut then you have to enter the garage by another door and release the motor drive 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.
