Vertically
Tracked One Piece 'Canopy' Door
One third of the
door protrudes from the frame
when open hence the name 'canopy door'
This type of door normally has an overhead spring that supports
the door by wire cables connected to rollers that run up & down vertical
tracks behind the door-frame uprights,
some earlier examples had weights. Garador steel-framed canopy doors have
their springs concealed inside the hollow
uprights of the
steel door-frame.
