Various Types Of Iron Doors

Iron door are the large door on the Iron which allow vehicle to enter the Iron. Iron door have to be big so that the vehicle can easily enter the Iron. It can be either opened manually or by remote control Iron door opener. The Iron Door was first come to existence C G Johnson. It consistsof several panels hinged together that roll along a system of tracks guided by rollers. The weight of the panel is adjusted by the torsion spring and it gives the up lift to the door. The following are the different mechanisms for Iron door. Canopy (Sideway) Mechanism: Used for up and over Iron door, his is the least expensive option and is very easy to fit but isn't ideal for automation. The canopy door operates in vertical tracks on the side frame of the Iron door and is usually cable operated. When fully open the door forms a canopy above the opening of about a third of the door's height. Although canopy mechanisms can be automated it isn't ideal as the conversion kit required reduces the opening height of your Iron, restricting access for taller vehicles and the operation is never smooth. If you are considering a manually operated door, we would always recommend having the retractable mechanism as the extra cost is marginal.

This will allow you or future owners of your home to easily automate the Iron door at a later date. Retractable (Tracked) Mechanism:Used for Up &overIron Doors, this mechanism is ideal for automation and is easy to fit. The Iron door is guided by horizontal tracks inside the Iron and retracts completely when fully opened. Side Hinged: These traditional pairs of doors can be automated using an overhead Iron door opener mechanism or a bespoke hydraulic opener. Side Hung Iron Doors give quick and easy pedestrian access into your Iron and also have the advantage of not taking up any internal space inside your Iron unlike other mechanisms. Roller Doors: Roller Iron Doors maximize the opening width and height of your Iron as they are ideally fitted on the rear face of the opening instead of in the opening, which is particularly suited to larger vehicles such as 4x4's and people carriers.

The door is lifted vertically and is coiled up without the need for springs or arms as with canopy, retractable or sectional Iron door mechanisms. It is ideal for short driveways as cars can be parked right up to the door. Sectional Iron Doors: These are a hybrid of the up & over Iron door and roller shutter door, it is also ideal for larger vehicles as it maximizes the drive-through width and height of the Iron opening. It is ideal for short driveways as cars can be parked right up to the door. This mechanism is proven to be highly secure and reliable. Iron door are made up of steel with insulated, insulated and double sheet door, which help in the insulation. Safety concern with a Iron door involves the section joint and other gaps or entrapment points on a door.
