Key questions about electric sectional doors in Dumbarton
How does the operator work?
A motor unit is fixed to the garage ceiling and connected to the top section of the door by a carriage running on a rail. When you press the handset, the carriage pulls the door up the tracks while the springs on the door do most of the lifting. The motor only has to guide a door that is already balanced.
What happens in a power cut?
Every electric sectional door has an emergency release, a cord inside that disconnects the carriage so the door can be lifted by hand. If the garage has no other way in, an external emergency release lock can be added.
