Tips & tricks for garage doors
The safety of modern door operators plays an important role in the purchasing decision for two reasons:
When it comes to door openers in companies, the safety officer must ensure the safety of employees and visitors. In the case of electric gate operators in private homes, the safety of the residents is also the top priority. The operating instructions for a sliding gate operator or swing gate operator therefore contain several safety instructions and safety warnings. In addition, installation should only be carried out by qualified specialists.
At the same time, electric gate operators protect a building against burglary attempts. Studies show that a third of all break-ins are cancelled if the garage door or entrance gate cannot be opened quickly enough.
In principle, any door can be equipped with an electric door operator. The geared motor replaces the force that the user previously had to apply to open the door by hand.
Novoferm offers a wide range of different doors and operators:
Each gate operator can be controlled either with a hand-held transmitter or via app. The hand-held transmitter is tamper-proof and, thanks to KeeLoq, works via a dynamically changing code that is generated anew for each application.
Retrofitting manual garage doors or other doors with an electric operator is quick and easy. The Novomatic operator can be mounted on the ceiling. This type of installation saves space and requires little labour. In addition to all door types from Novoferm, a retrofitted door operator is also suitable for doors from other manufacturers. The type of garage is irrelevant when retrofitting. The doors of these garage types can be retrofitted with an electric door operator:
The door operator for garages without a power supply runs on a battery pack. The operator can be connected to a solar panel as an additional energy source. Novoferm offers a powerful gear motor for underground garages and collective garages, which reduces the door opening time by up to 50 %.
