Quality Manual and Electric Up & Over Garage Doors
Up-and-over garage doors remain one of the most popular choices for homeowners because they are practical, durable and easy to use. The door opens as one solid panel, moving outwards and upwards before resting neatly above the garage opening.
- Strong and secure due to multipoint latching providing multiple locking points to keep your garage and its contents well protected.
- Space-saving design that glides smoothly upwards and sits neatly against the ceiling, ideal for smaller driveways or garages with limited space in front.
- Perfectly suited for electric operation, offering convenient access at the push of a button and ideal for wide or heavy garage doors that would otherwise be difficult to lift manually.
- Stylish options for any property – available in a wide range of materials, finishes, and designs to complement any home style.
At CDC Garage Doors, we supply and install both manual and electric up-and-over garage doors. Our team can talk you through the best operating mechanism, material, colour and security options for your home, helping you choose a door that looks good, performs reliably and suits the way you use your garage.
Canopy vs Retractable Up & Over Garage Doors
There are two main types of up-and-over garage door mechanism: canopy and retractable. Choosing the right one depends on the size of your garage, how much space you have and whether you want to automate the door.
Canopy Up & Over Garage Doors
A canopy up-and-over door opens outwards and upwards, with part of the door forming a small canopy outside the garage when open. This mechanism is simple, reliable and often a cost-effective choice for single-width garage doors.
Canopy doors are a popular option for homeowners who want a manual garage door that is easy to use and does not require tracks running far back into the garage.
Retractable Up & Over Garage Doors
A retractable up-and-over door opens on horizontal tracks, allowing the full door panel to retract back into the garage. This mechanism is often better suited to larger doors and is usually the preferred option if you want to automate your up-and-over garage door.
Retractable doors offer smooth operation and are a strong choice for homeowners who want a more futureproof or electric-ready solution.
