Remote Control Automation
All side hinged doors can be easily automated using one of several systems available, all tried and well tested. It is not possible however to automate a cheap pair of softwood garage doors as there is insufficient strength is the railing and timber generally and this will lead to twisting, splitting and warping very easily. All the steel, timber and GRP side hinged doors that Samson Doors sell can be automated and we generally quote on an individual basis as there are so many variables in the equipment required.
Standard boom operators
A good quality reasonably powerful boom style garage door operator combined with a special conversion kit is the most popular method of automation as it is simple, well priced and very reliable. You can choose from several models of operator capable of doing this job, Hormann, Marantec and Seip are the main ones to use.
Steel rods push and pull the door panels from the very top to open and close the doors with one door closing before the other.
This method is generally fine for doors up to a total width of 3 metres and once above that width you have to start to look at gate type operators using hydraulic or mechanical rams offering higher power and the ability to open wider doors.
we can offer this equipment from manufactuers such as BFT, FAAC, CAME and Hormann.
