Garador
Mk4 & type 'F' vertically tracked steel framed canopy
doors
can re-hung
on new horizontally tracked support gear to enable
safe & reliable
remote controlled operation
(These Garador canopy doors have the springs located inside the steel door
frame) |
| Out with the old, in with the new ! The following
pictures show various stages of our conversion |
|
 |
 |
before -
on original canopy mechanism
which is not suited to reliable automation |
after -
on new fully retracting slide-away mechanism |
|
The
original Garador Mk4c vertically tracked mechanism, comprising of the support arms,
roller plates, springs and the vertical box sections on the door
etc. are removed & discarded |

steel framed canopy
door
(the springs are
housed inside the frame uprights)
Note: The new Arcadian AP100 door
gear is designed to be installed onto a timber frame so we
recommend that the steel door frame is replaced with a new 69mm
x 69mm timber frame. Alternatively it is possible to
retain the steel frame but it will be necessary to
remove the springs, clean out the grease from inside the frame
box-sections and glue two lengths of 40mm x 40mm timber inside
the uprights using 'Gripfill'
mastic or similar, (as illustrated right) these timbers will provide a fixing for the
replacement AP100 door support gear and track fixing brackets. (these
timbers should be clamped with screws to prevent movement within the
steel frame while the mastic hardens) The new top
corner roller plates must be fitted so that the rollers are at
the lowest position and a small portion of the new horizontal
track mounting brackets may need to be cut away to clear a steel
bracket at the top corner of the steel frame and all the fixing
screws will need to be substituted with shorter screws. |

completed conversion with a Seip electric operator fitted
|
Please Note: After conversion to horizontally
tracked operation the door will extend back into the garage
approximately 40cm to 50cm more than it did with the original vertically
tracked canopy mechanism so please check your garage for obstructions
such as an RSJ or gas meter etc. before undertaking this conversion. |

design of the AP100 lifting gear provides maximum
drive-through width at door mirror height
Soft rubber
weather-strips down the timber door jambs keep out draughts
whilst eliminating any risk of damage to your car |

Once converted,
your existing canopy door will
glide effortlessly back into the garage on
horizontal
tracks
making it suitable for electric operation.

D.I.Y. customers say !
| I
purchased two Arcadian AP100 door gear kits to convert a pair of Garador canopy doors.
It's good quality gear and you don't need a degree in rocket science to
fit it. Then I ordered two Seip TM60 remote controlled electric
operators. Again, excellent equipment which was straight forward to
fit and is wonderfully effective. I encountered a couple of minor
problems along the way (with my particular installation, not with
the equipment) and a phone call to Nick at Amourelle had it all
sorted in seconds. Amourelle's prompt delivery and customer service
are second to none. It is refreshing to find a company with such
'old fashioned' customer value! - Jeff Vernon; Doncaster, S. Yorks. |

I ordered
a Seip electric door opener and an Arcadian door gear conversion kit
for my canopy type garage door late on Thursday evening, the goods
were delivered next day 11.30!! I received plenty of help and
advice. And there can’t be many businesses that say ”If you are
doing the work over the weekend and need help, then just give me a
call on my mobile” All in all a great service.

This is a
cost-effective & reliable method of automating
a canopy type door but the conversion
work should only be undertaken by competent D.I.Y. enthusiasts -
