How to choose a garage door?- swing , hinged or sectional? more

  • Hinged gate for the garages in our time is already an archaic solution, while the wings are usually heavy and non-insulated. Due to the size it is cumbersome when opening and closing. It is also necessary to take extra protection from uncontrolled closure eg due to gusts of wind. Using hinged gate makes it necessary to park a car in front of gate with significant distance at least equal to the width of the wing which makes planning and building a larger driveway. Where the design dictates the use of the building facade hinged door, Beditom can design sectional door that is stylized as hinged door.
  • Swing door needs less space to work than hinged gate, but unfortunately it still needs a large space. Swing doors are usually non-insulated and not too tight. It is difficult to use these doors in our climatic conditions especially in winter when even the minimum amount of snow causes pitfalls of trying to open it. Construction of swing doors forces the use of extension springs which by nature are weaker and difficult to adjust properly. This causes problems with balancing door curtain, and may even be dangerous.
  • In comparison with other doors, Beditom sectional doors do not need any space to work. Curtain of the door moves in the light of the opening practically vertically. Beditom sectionals doors are well designed and manufactured to the highest standards. Since they are perfectly balanced the opening and closing requires very small force. A wide range of track versions makes possible to install our doors where available headroom is limited. An additional advantage in favour of choosing sectional door is a wealth of available colors, patterns and finishes. Only at Beditom you can choose any size of the door knowing that there is no extra charges for custom sizes!

 

What springs should my gate have? Torsion or extension? more

Torsion springs used exclusively in all our doors balance weight of the door much better than the other solutions where the tension springs are used. Using a torsion springs that are attached to a shaft can easily balance the curtain on the door, so that throughout its movement up and down, the door be easily stop in any position and it will not fell or rose by itself. This is important if you equip our gate in the electric drive – proper movement of door curtain has an impact on the load and hence the durability and refinement of the entire mechanism of the gate. Torsion springs are usually installed in pairs so a failure of any of them does not cause the same problems as the breakage of extension springs and its rapid fall. It happens that the bursting of extension springs not only prevents the opening of the door but such a failure could have unpleasant consequences such as damage to your car or injury to a person present in the footprint of falling gate. Torsion springs are significantly more durable than extension springs. Thanks to the use of advanced mechanism of torsion springs Beditom’s gates are always quiet and well balanced and do not require much force to open or closed, regardless of its size.
