Don’t Have Much Room in Your Garage?
are 2 types of
garage door
tracks, however, each comes with its own variations. The first is a vertical track and this is used for overhead doors which lift upwards. Sliding door tracks are the other kind
and will be used on doors which open sideways. Vertical track ones do differ depending on the door being used.
Vertical track lifts are available in 3 styles. The most common is a standard lift track. This runs vertically and then curves in a horizontal direction towards the interior of the garage. These are usually used for
canopy and retractable doors. A canopy one swings outward slightly when it is being opened.
The same up-and-down lifts are regularly used for industrial or commercial doors too. With these cases, one portion of similar to a standard lift track. A second one is set above this first one and slightly to the back. This spacing will give more room for the spring assembly, this will increase lift strength and make heavy commercial doors much easier to open and use.
Another kind is a high lift system, this is generally used in residential settings that have high ceilings in the garage. This uses a combination of a standard and vertical lift. In a high lift, the vertical track will connect with a horizontal track, and to a second vertical track.
Sliding garage doors generally come with 2 horizontal tracks, one will be at the top and the other is on the bottom of the door. These are used for panel doors that have hinges which allows them to bend or fold against the garage walls. Doors which use sliding tracks will not put any extra weight on the garage ceiling.
