Up And Over Garage Door Suppliers in Waltham Abbey
Up and over garage doors in Waltham Abbey are the most common types of garage door in the UK. Their panel design offers high security and easy operation.
It is a one piece door that literally goes up and over and can be designed in any material. The door panel is lifted up and then tilted to lay flat above you, which is where the name comes from.
This type of garage door usually comes in two different operating mechanisms. We offer both Canopy and Retractable garage doors in Waltham Abbey.
Canopy garage doors in Waltham Abbey are the most cost-effective on the market. They have a simple design and are very easy to use which is why it is one of the most popular garage door styles sold.
The name describes its position once it is opened. The garage door will have a third of its length protruding outside the opening, creating a canopy. This will be attached to the frame by two rolling wheels on each side with a folding arm attached to both sides of the door. The wheels will remain within the roller track while they move higher with the door.
The retractable mechanism gets its name because of the way that the garage door retracts. The garage door is attached to the subframe by two spring-loaded side arms.
This version can be used with an electric system as the door panel can be opened by being pulled up and down by a centrally positioned boom type arm operator.
You can contact the garage door installers near Waltham Abbey for more information on the different mechanisms and electric options available for these garage door installations in Waltham Abbey.

Up & Over Door – Canopy lifting gear
Ideal for manual operation – Available up to 8′ (2438mm) wide<br />The canopy garage door uses the most common type of garage door mechanism, its name derives from the fully opened garage door panel protruding about a third forward of the sub frame to form a canopy. It gives maximum drive-through width when open and is the easiest to install.
These must be installed on a ‘goal-post’ style frame made of timber or steel. The door balance is achieved by a torsion spring positioned above the door panel on the head of the fixing frame lifting the door panel by a pair of cables attached to a roller either side of the door.
The canopy door mechanism is now only available up to 8′ (2438mm) wide. It is perfect for manual operation, and can save garage space. It is not used when automating garage doors, but with a ‘bow-arm converter’ and a quality operator it can be automated.
Due to Euro legislation all currently UK manufactured canopy garage doors in Waltham Abbey come with anti-drop mechanisms as standard fitment.
Up & Over Door – Retractable lifting gear
Ideal for automatic operation – Available up to 16’ (4877mm) wide
The retractable garage door has the most robust type of up and over garage door lifting mechanism, using multi-tension springs at the sides with steel lifting arms and horizontal steel tracks it can take much heavier loads, the ‘retractable’ name is derived from the garage door panel retracting almost fully into the garage when open.
This type of mechanism is ideal to convert easily and safely into automatic operation on both new & existing doors. The drive-through width (the gap between the frame posts) on a retractable mechanism is reduced as the lifting arms sit in between the sub-frame when the door is opened, although some manufacturers have now designed lifting arms to overcome this on doors up to 8’ (2438mm) wide (see below).

Client Testimonials
Anne, Valley Court
Dear Steve
Thanks a million for fixing my garage door so quickly. It means a lot. The team were brilliant.
I will always recommend your company widely. Many thanks again for your help it's greatly appreciated.
Warmest wishes
Bob10T
Great experience from Steve and the team. Right from the first phone call, no hard sell and understood what I needed. New door fitted a few days later by equally helpful team, who took time to explain the features of the door and how to look after it. It was the best price too.
Nicola Toms
I needed extra security behind an aging garage door. Steve was recommended by neighbours and was as good as they said he’d be. Today my security shutter was fitted by his team – fabulous – I’m delighted! Secure, extra insulation and good to look at – alarmed too. Thanks all.
