How To Measure For Fort Up & Over Doors

Measuring For an Up & Over Garage Door

When measuring for a garage door, it is important to take several measurements inbetween the width and height of the garage opening utilising the smallest measurements when it comes to the ordering sizes. The ordering size for up and over doors are the door size inbetween the frame legs and head section, the frame legs and head must be taken into account. Please see specifications for the different types and diagrams to assist.

Terminology
Ordering Door Size: This is the actual door panel size plus the fitting tolerances. The door size should be used for internal dimensions of a timber frame.
When ordering a steel frame, the door will come pre attached to the frame and should be accounted for to get the overall frame size (OFS). This is particularly important when installing inbetween the opening as no fitting tolerances are included.
E.g. Ordering Door Size = 7’0″ x 6’6″ (2134 x 1981 mm) gives an OFS of 2234 x 2031 mm (width x height).

Framed Canopy Garage Doors

All framed canopy garage doors up to 8’ wide have 50mm per side and 50mm cross bar (add 100mm to the door ordering width and 50mm to the door ordering height for the overall frame size).

IFH = Internal frame height.
COH = Clear opening height.
KU = Kick up above underside of frame.
KO = Kick out from front edge of frame.
BR = Back room requirement.

OAF(W) = Door and frame size combined.
SR = Side room – only important if frame is fitted behind the brickwork when 100mm per side is required (frame + brackets).
BR = 7ft high door 1.950m (from back of frame) 6’6’’ high 1.850m (from back of frame) (manual operation).
Threshold Strip 32mm high (for smart pass doors).

Fort Canopy and Retractable Garage Doors

Steel Up & Over Garage doors are a timeless and reliable choice. Choose a style and colour and you have a strong and secure door that will look good for years to come with the minimum of effort. Up and over doors in an array of designs made from steel, they are designed for a long and reliable life and are available with retractable or canopy lifting gear. Single doors up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high are supplied with canopy lifting gear as standard. Retractable lifting gear is available as an option on all door sizes up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high and standard for all doors over this size.

Canopy Gear

The canopy mechanism uses an overhead torsion spring with cables and is great for manual operation. When the door is open, it leaves about a third of the door protruding out from the garage. Single doors up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high are available with canopy lifting gear.

Retractable Gear

The retractable mechanism uses side tension springs with tracks and is great for manual and particularly automatic operation. When the door is open, it fully retracts back into the garage. Retractable lifting gear is available as an option on all door sizes up to 9’0” wide and 7’0” high and standard for all doors over this size.

Frame Cover Profiles

Frame covering in the finish/colour of the door

Side frames are delivered in Woodgrain white as standard. With a frame covering that matches the door sections’ surface finish and colour or decor, you can also achieve a harmonious appearance for sectional doors with Sandgrain, Micrograin, Silkgrain or Decograin surface finishes. For Micrograin doors, the frame covering is delivered with a smooth Silkgrain surface finish.

Two different widths make it possible to cover the side frame for different fitting situations.

1) 55mm wide frame covering for fitting behind the opening, with little sideroom (< 90 mm)

2) 90mm wide frame covering for fitting in the opening, flush with the wall

Special Anchor Set

Required for fitting sectional doors in between the brickwork.

Standard fitting

The sectional door can be fitted behind the opening. The reveal guarantees stable fitting. This allows the frame to be screwed directly into the wall behind the opening. Ideally, the available garage has at least 100mm of clearance in the lintel area (at least 115mm for doors with operators) and a 90mm sideroom. Sectional doors come with all the necessary fitting materials for this situation.

Special anchor for frame side fixing

The sectional door frame can be fitted to the side wall of the garage with the optional, universal anchors. Irregularities in the wall can be easily compensated, leaving the reveal intact.

1) Fitting with up to 35mm wall spacing

2) Fitting with angled or irregular side wall

3) Fitting with non-load bearing facades (facing brick or thermal insulation) with at least 90mm and max. 125mm sideroom

SWS Powder Coated End Plates

End plates are provided as galvanised, choose this option to have the end plates powder coated in matching colour.
