The operation modes of garage doors mainly include top sliding, side sliding and top hanging.
Top sliding garage door: This is one of the most common types of garage doors. According to the size of the space above the opening, top sliding garage doors can be divided into single track and double track. The door body runs on the track and rises vertically. When it is opened, the door body slides on the track, and when it is closed, it drops to the bottom of the track. This type of door is suitable for situations where there is enough space on the top of the garage. It is suitable for almost all garages and is the best choice for conventional garages. The top sliding garage door has the function of rebounding when encountering obstacles to ensure the safety of people and vehicles, and is equipped with a wireless remote control device that can actively operate the switch. In the event of a power outage, there is an emergency lock for convenient manual switching. The parts are easy to disassemble and update, which is conducive to maintenance.
Side sliding garage door: The side sliding garage door is a garage door that slides and switches sideways, including upper and lower tracks, upper and lower corner connectors, traction devices, transmission rails, upper load-bearing wheels, lower guide wheels, door panels and other components. This type of door only requires 6-7cm of installation space at the top, and a minimum bending radius of 13cm at the corner. The door body takes up very little area, making it the best solution for ultra-low garages. Side-sliding garage doors are suitable for scenarios where there is no support point in the upper space, such as when there are only walls on both sides.
Upper-row hanging garage door: The upper-row hanging garage door includes multiple door panels. When the upper-row hanging door is opened, the door panels rise, and multiple door panels are vertically hung in the top box; when closed, multiple door panels fall down and are arranged in an orderly manner to close the upper-row hanging door. This type of door is not limited by the size of the door opening, nor by obstacles such as two beams and pipes. Its safety has been greatly improved, its aesthetics has also been greatly improved, and its application field is very wide.
These different operating modes have their own characteristics and are suitable for different scenarios and needs. Consumers can choose the most suitable type of garage door according to their specific circumstances.
