Abacus Mechanisms

There are three main types of mechanism used for garage doors - see below. The choice of mechanism will affect the design options available to you.

Our experienced staff will talk you through the advantages of each mechanism type and help you to make a decision.

All three mechanisms may be automated, giving you remote control of your garage door from your car - so no need to brave the elements.

Take a look at the different machanisms we offer by scrolling down this page:

Up-and-Over

Up-and-over doors are made from a single solid panel of either steel, timber or fibre glass. These doors offer our most cost effective solution. Numerous colours and designs are available.

Roller

Roller Doors have a much smoother operation, but the price reflects this. They are available in a variety of colours, but limited styles.

Sectional

Secional doors are again very smooth and quiet and have the added advantage of being insulated and draft proof. These are our premium doors. We have a good range of designs available in many different colours and finishes.
