Tips & tricks for garage doors
WING GATES
THEY ARE SUITABLE FOR THESE GARAGES
The swing door can certainly be described as the original form of garage door. Until the 1950s, when up-and-over garage doors slowly but surely began their triumphant advance, this design was the standard for securing garages. Today, up-and-over garage doors are less widespread. However, they have a certain charm and also specific advantages.
Homeowners therefore still like to rely on this classic type of door with two leaves that can be opened and closed from the side. In combination with old buildings or farmhouses, country houses, etc. in particular, swing gates have a special charm. They are generally used for car garages, but more often for storage, workshops, hobby or leisure rooms.

SWING GATE WITH DOOR IN THE GATE THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Today, hinged garage doors basically always have an integrated door - or rather a door leaf. However, there are major differences in terms of features. In particular, you should ensure that the door and door leaf are securely locked.
It is also important to use sturdy hinges - especially if the door is used frequently. A gas pressure damper to secure the end position not only provides convenience, but also safety, as the door cannot slam open or shut uncontrollably. A door stop for swing doors also makes sense in this context.
THE RIGHT OPERATOR - ELECTRIC SWING GATES
An operator can also be integrated into a swing gate. These gates are then usually moved with the help of a linear drive. These are motors that are often attached to the lower sides of the leaves. A motor pushes a gate open or closes it via a linkage and a hydraulic cylinder. An electric swing gate with an integrated door is also possible.
IT'S THE ACCESSORIES THAT COUNT - GATE STOP AND DOOR STOPPER FOR SWING GATES
Swing garage doors can be fitted with numerous accessories. Only such additional elements make the door really functional. Door openers for swing doors are already mandatory for wide garage entrances. But there is also a lot to consider when it comes to accessories for smaller doors. Gate stoppers should always be fitted to the swing gate to prevent damage. Furthermore, the motors of the door operator can be controlled remotely or even automatically in a variety of ways via Smart Home.
