This choice of garage door will make it look as though you have timber when in fact it is a laminate finish on a single skin steel up and over door with a 10 year guarantee! Choose between either golden oak or rosewood effect and relax as there will be no maintenance for this finish!
Ideal for all residential applications.
All the Fort steel one piece up and over doors have a strong steel sub chassis with internal bracing plates to ensure the best rigidity of the door panel.
We recommend that any steel up and over garage door is always ordered with a steel fixing sub frame for the best overall results and tolerances.
Timber frames are OK but the price and performance of the steel sub frame makes it not worth bothering with a timber sub frame, which needs treatment or painting once fitted.
Operating Mechanism
The doors are sold fitted with either a canopy or retractable operating mechanism, depending on your requirements.
In general terms the canopy door is used for the smaller single sizes and when the door is only to be manually operated. (Sizes up to 2438mm wide)
The retractable door mechanism is for larger sizes and when you want to have an electric operator fitted.
Handle and Locking
All the Fort up and over doors feature a cable operated locking latch system, operated via the central position handle
Option of 4 point locking for any manual operated door if required for extra security.
A black nylon handle is fitted as standard, can order the door without a handle, but this should only be for when installing with an electric operator, which can then provide the locking when closed
Colours
This model has a laminate foil coating to present a woodgrain effect finish in either a Golden oak or Rosewood finish.
Other doors in this range are available in a choise of 18 standard low gloss powdercoat colour finishes.

Fort Pull Handles S/S Care and Maintenance
Fort Up and Over garage doors come with pull handles to the front panel as standard.
The pull handles are made using grade 304 Stainless steel for use externally and internally in heavily sanitised areas such as kitchens and washrooms.
Like all steel, failure to keep the item clean can cause surface blemishes and what looks like a major product failure and rusting.
You will often find marks appearing in the winter when the roads have been gritted, salt on the surface are all steel products arch enemy.
If your pull bars develop small blemished areas during December, January and February in particular then you should wash them off using cold water and washing up liquid, you can use a cream cleaner like CIF rubbed lightly to remove the blemishes.
If you have them appear it means you have salt on the surface and need to increase the frequency of the door washdown.
Please remember all stainless steel can blemish even knives and forks in a dishwasher because salt is used as a scrubbing agent, wiping blemishes off with a cloth is standard practice and you should treat the door bars the same, clean and wipe regularly.
If you live close to the sea or estuary you should apply a light oil after washing once a month to keep the item clean and fresh.
Frame sizes do not allow for any fitting tolerances, please include if required.
