Up-and-over garage doors
The classic among garage doors
The up-and-over door is the tried-and-tested classic among garage doors and is widely used. It consists of a galvanised door leaf that is moved via lateral lever arms with balancing springs - either manually or with an electric drive, as required.
Installation is simple, regardless of whether it is a new build or renovation, whether it is a standard-sized Novoferm garage door completely pre-assembled at the factory or a customised door for a prefabricated garage. It offers cost-conscious buyers excellent value for money without having to compromise on attractive door designs and customised design options.

Functionality of up-and-over doors
THE SWINGING GATE PRINCIPLE
THE SWINGING GATE PRINCIPLE
The up-and-over garage door is the classic garage door. In contrast to the sectional garage door, it swings out forwards when opening and closing.
While sectional doors disappear section by section under the garage ceiling, the entire door leaf of the up-and-over door moves as a unit, supported by two lateral lever arms. In doing so, it necessarily swings out, projecting a little beyond the garage opening.
SPACE REQUIREMENT IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE
SPACE REQUIREMENT IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE
Due to their movement mechanism, up-and-over garage doors require a certain amount of clearance in front of the garage. The door leaf of the up-and-over door "swings out", which is why a swivelling area must be allowed for in front of the garage.
ON-SITE PANELLING
ON-SITE PANELLING
A special door leaf frame for on-site filling offers the option of customised boarding. With this model, Novoferm supplies a stable yet flexible frame that can be filled with boards of your choice. This allows you to seamlessly harmonise the garage door with your house façade and create a continuous surface to match your house architecture without any interruptions.
The door leaf frame is offered in sepia brown, similar to RAL 8014, as standard.

NOTES ON INSULATION
Up-and-over garage doors offer cost-conscious buyers excellent value for money - without having to sacrifice attractive motifs and individual design options. Up-and-over garage doors are therefore a good solution for the secure closure of a detached garage.
Compared to modern sectional garage doors, single-walled up-and-over doors have lower insulating properties. For garages that are built directly next to the house, have a transition from the garage to the living area or are used for another purpose in addition to parking a car (garage as a workshop, storage room, living space, etc.), sectional garage doors with high thermal and sound insulation are generally used.
OPTIMUM AIR CIRCULATION IN THE GARAGE THANKS TO ADJUSTABLE VENTILATION POSITION
The door is opened approx. 10 cm to ventilate the garage. The door can be brought into the ventilation position from any position by pulsing the second button on the hand-held transmitter.
After 60 minutes, it closes either automatically or in advance by pressing the transmitter.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT GARAGE DOOR OPENERS
All our garage door openers and additional equipment (e.g. light strips) are equipped with modern, energy-saving LED lighting, which ensures exceptional brightness, economy and energy efficiency.
Another energy advantage of many of our operators is the low energy consumption of just 0.5 watts in stand-by mode.
SECURITY AND BURGLAR RESISTANCE
SECURITY AND BURGLAR RESISTANCE
3-POINT LOCKING ACCORDING TO THE SAFE PRINCIPLE
The Novoferm up-and-over door with operator and triple locking (incl. BDIP rail) protects your property according to the safe principle. This is ensured by the locking mechanism on both sides using solid bolts in the frame and the self-locking mechanism of the operator on the top edge of the door leaf.
The additional floor-independent horizontal locking system with solid bolts in the side frames is tamper-proof because it cannot be reached from the outside, even with tools. There is no more secure way to lock an up-and-over door.
ELECTRONIC ANTI-LIFT DEVICE AND SELF-LOCKING GEARBOX
Novoferm up-and-over doors with operator are equipped with a self-monitoring automatic switch-off system.
As soon as the door encounters an obstacle when closing, regardless of whether it is an object or a person, it stops and opens immediately at the slightest resistance.
Quality without compromise
Quality without compromise
This starts with the finish. Hot-dip galvanised sheet metal and a base coat of electrostatic polyester-based stove enamel provide the door with double protection against corrosion. The door leaf frame, block frame, guide rails, lever arms and all other components are also galvanised. Torsion-resistant, continuously welded frame corners and hollow frame profiles with cross struts ensure maximum stability. And because we are convinced of the durability of this design, we give a 10-year guarantee.
We don't cut corners when it comes to safety either.
This applies equally to up-and-over doors and operators. Protection of persons through automatic switch-off and self-monitoring force limitation, protection against break-ins through the 3-point central locking system based on the safe principle for up-and-over doors with system or the self-locking gear of the operator. So secure, so good.
That's Novoferm.
1. protects people: The door that monitors itself
The Novoferm up-and-over door with operator is equipped with a self-monitoring automatic switch-off system. As soon as the door encounters an obstacle when closing, regardless of whether it is an object or a person, it stops and opens immediately at the slightest resistance.
2. protects property: exemplary burglar resistance
The Novoferm up-and-over door with operator and triple locking (incl. BDIP rail) protects your property according to the safe principle. Locking on both sides by solid bolts in the frame, additional locking by self-locking of the operator at the top edge of the door leaf.
3. convenient opening and closing
Specially designed lever arm bearings make it easy to open and close your door - conveniently by hand or even more conveniently with an electric operator.
4. maximum functional reliability
Powerful triple tension spring assemblies ensure "feather-light" ease of use with maximum safety: even if a spring were to break, it could not jump away because it is firmly screwed in at the top and bottom. In addition, the remaining springs would hold the door securely in place.
5. additional property protection
The floor-independent horizontal locking mechanism with solid bolts in the side frames is tamper-proof because it cannot be reached from the outside, even with tools.
CE regulations are good - exceeding them is better. All Novoferm up-and-over doors are certified in accordance with the European door product standard EN 13241.
