Roller Garage Doors for the Home

Roller garage doors are a popular item to add to the home.  The days of manually opening your garage door when leaving or returning home are over, thanks to this nifty invention and the craftsmanship of Hormann.  Why spend another day manually opening your garage door when you can install something far more convenient?

Roller garage doors are a type of automated garage door that you can open and close electronically through a wireless remote.  You can also open an automated garage door through a pad installed in the garage.  Hormann is a leader in the garage door industry and has a line of roller garage doors that fit into just about any application.

The door of the moment is the Hormann RollMatic door.   This automated garage door is a described by Hormann as the sectional door that rolls up.  It rolls up into a nice secure position as you drive into your garage, and rolls right back down behind you when you instruct it to do so.  This not only adds convenience into your life, but also safety.  With roller garage doors, there is no longer a need to leave the safety of your vehicle when you come home.

So an automated garage door runs off of electricity; what happens in the instance of a power outage?  While this may seem like a real problem, it really is easy to deal with.  When it comes to Hormann roller garage doors, this is not a problem at all.  One of the features Hormann installs in their garage doors is a quick release that you can pull to disengage the roller door from the motor.  When you do this, you can then easily lift the door manually to get in and out of the garage.

There is no need to second guess safety when it comes to a door made from this well-known manufacturer.  In the Hormann roller door, there are tension springs as well as dual cables which offer a strong hold for years.  Even in the event that you may have to manually open the garage door; these features make it much easier to do so.  In many roller garage doors, a separate hand crank is needed to open and close the door manually, but with this type of door from Hormann, you just lift into place.

Maintenance is something to take into consideration when choosing which automated garage door is right for you.  If there are parts that are complicated or hard to get to, maintaining your garage door may be more of a hassle.  With a Hormann roller garage door, the operating unit is located outside of the roller casing, which means that it is easy to get to and therefore easier to maintain through the years you use it.

Owning an automated garage door is something that every homeowner deserves.  Because life is hectic, we need to do what we can to add convenience where possible.  Simple as it may seem, convenience at home can come in surprising packages.  The package referred to here is an easy to operate automated garage door.  Convenience and added safety are very much worth the time and expense of adding a new garage door.

A Reliable Roller Door to Secure Your Garage

New garage door mechanism innovations are few and far between as it can be a bit like re-inventing the wheel. The classic designs such as up and over, sectional and roller doors have been around for a long time so when something refreshing comes along we get a bit over excited here at the Garage Door Superstore. Hormann have launched the Rollmatic as their solution to the domestic roller door which we saw at the UK launch at the beginning of July.

I am pleased to say the door is extremely impressive and reflects Hormann’s industry leading design, innovation and German build quality. Since its launch in Europe, the Hormann Rollmatic has proven to be popular with steady sales growth. Hormann have solved the main issue that all other roller doors seem to have, which is the safety edge device that detects obstacles to prevent the risk of crushing. The safety edge device is most commonly the part that fails on roller doors and we have had numerous warranty claims relating to this.

Hormann have solved this by not using a tubular motor but by using the same proven DC motor they use for their sectional and up & over doors mounted on the side of the roller door.  This motor reliably detects obstacles without the need for an unreliable contact strip. The other major benefit of the Rollmatic when compared to other Roller Doors is the Guarantee Hormann provide. Unlike the other brands, there are no ambiguous clauses in the small print.

The Rollmatic has a Safe & Reliable 10 Year Warranty, the parts have 5 years, as does the motor and 2 years for the radio equipment for the remote controls. The finish on the door is beautiful and is easily the best looking roller door lathe. The wind bracing is superior to prevent annoying rattling in the wind. We have been waiting some time for the Hormann roller door and the wait looks worthwhile  and the installation is simple, see the video below.
