Garázskapuk

Garázskapuk are mechanical devices designed to open and close garage doors. They are essential for providing security and convenient access to garages. Various types of garázskapuk exist, each with its own operating mechanism and advantages.

The most common type is the sectional garázskapu, which consists of several horizontal panels that slide upwards along tracks when opened. This type is popular for its space-saving design, as it does not require much clearance in front of the garage. Another type is the roller garázskapu, which is made of a single metal sheet that rolls up into a coil above the door opening. These are known for their durability and security.

Swing-up garázskapuk, also known as one-piece doors, are made of a single solid panel that pivots upwards and outwards. While simpler in design, they require more space in front of the garage. Side-sliding garázskapuk move horizontally along a track, either to the side or opening in two halves.

Garázskapuk can be operated manually or automatically. Automatic operation is typically achieved using an electric motor controlled by a remote or a wall-mounted switch. Modern garázskapuk often incorporate safety features such as automatic reverse mechanisms to prevent closing on obstructions and security systems to deter unauthorized entry. The materials used for garázskapuk vary, including steel, aluminum, wood, and composite materials, each offering different levels of insulation, durability, and aesthetic appeal. The choice of garázskapu often depends on factors such as budget, desired security level, and the architectural style of the building.
