Buying a car, every owner thinks about how and where to store it. The perfect place has always been a garage. His ease determines the quality of life, no worse than other rooms at home. The arrangement of the garage gate every day is becoming more convenient and practical due to the fact that the industry does not stand still. Classic swing gates depart into the background. The practical lifting gates for the garage are becoming increasingly popular. It is not independently created in the presence of minimal skills to perform such construction work. To find out how correctly, quickly and efficiently arrange them, check out this article.

What to choose a type of gate?

To make homemade lifting gates for the garage, first define the appropriate design option.

According to this principle, the following types are distinguished:

• roller gate;
• whole shield gate;
• sectional doors.
  Important! Roller devices did not gain wide popularity, so the rules for the design of the sectional and allocating lifting gates are proposed below, they are most simply made with their own hands.

Features of sectional structures

The most common version of the garage gate at the moment is the garage garage lifting section. They are made in the form of panels with a height of 40-60 cm.

Panels produce from several types of materials:

• plastic;
• metal;
• wood.
  Important! Determine the choice of a specific type of material, to create the design of the lifting garage, the size of the car, the estimated number of cars, as well as the features of the design idea of \u200b\u200bdesign, both the garage and the architectural ensemble on the site as a whole.

To maximize the quality of thermal insulation, such panels are filled with polyurethane, and the surface is protected by a special coating. Between themselves, individual elements fasten with hinged loops. All movable parts, such as clutches and rollers, are made of reinforced plastic in combination with steel components, and directing guides are made from materials that do not corrod.

The mechanism of operation of the garage section gates is quite simple - they are dragged to the classes under the ceiling when opening and descended vertically down when closing.

Advantages

The main advantages of such gates include features:

• sectional garage doors are safe;
• they are easy to manage;
• sufficient strength that provides the possibility of loads with frequent regularity.
  Important! Such lifting gates simply should be done carefully with the schemes of already ready-made designs and adhere to the entire sequence of the installation rules of the finished set from the manufacturer.

disadvantages

In addition to the merits, sectional gates of lifting type have a couple of shortcomings:

• low resistance to hacking;
• the inability to make them with your own hands.

Distinctive characteristics of lifting-rotary whole mechanisms

Determining the features of such structures, it will certainly be worth noting the following nuances:

1. The lifting garage gates of rotary-type are equipped with a solid flap, which rises by a hinge and lever and removes under the ceiling.
2. The weight and mass of this design is balanced by special springs that are fixed on the sides.
3. Rotary garage doors do not have rollers and rails, so they open and close almost silently. In most cases, the noise is published by rollers who are moving along guide rails.
4. Such gates are most safe as possible, because the one-piece design of the sash is much more difficult to operate than the sectional shield.

Advantages

At all-panel type of garage gates Mass of the merits:

• beautiful protection against hacking;
• the use of galvanized metal sheet with powder spraying when creating a sash attaches special stability of the shield and prevents corring;
• suitable for installation in single and double garage openings;
• effortlessly open manually;
• do not occupy a useful garage area.

disadvantages

1. Practically do not have thermal insulation property.
2. An intricate design.
3. It is possible to overload the mechanical parts of such a gate.

Important! The main difference between these two designs is that the sectional garage doors need to be mounted only with a set, while all the elements of the lifting-turning gates are under the power to prepare and mounted their own hands.

Mounting Tools Garage Gate

To mount the garage doors of any type, you will need the following tools:

• metal long line and roulette;
• steel profile;
• tube or corner;
• two-meter construction level;
• bulgarian;
• welding machine.
  Important! Depending on the selected material for the arrangement of the system, size and other features of the project, this list may vary, supplemented with special profile tools.

Rules for mounting lifting section garage gates

To correctly install sectional lifting garage doors, follow these steps in the exact sequence:

1. Collect the frame and install it in the opening of the garage.
2. Check the installation with the help level horizontally and vertical.
3. With the help of anchors, fasten the frame in the garage opening.
   Important! Further actions will be aimed at correctly fasten the brackets, connect the vertical clauses with the wall and correctly adjust the operation of the system.
4. Marker or pencil marked the place where you need to make holes.
5. Align the frame and strengthen it.
6. Mounting foam fill, formed between profiles and wall, gap.
7. Securely secure the ceiling guides on the ceiling.
8. Starting from the bottom section, gradually collect the sash.
9. Connect the hinges with sections by grippers that are screwed to the loop of the sections.
10. Insert the sections in the end.
11. Adjust the springs in such a way that the sash rose with minimal effort and did not fall back the itself.

Rateing Gate Mounting Technology

Given the fact that the design of this type of gate is fully done on their own, select the main stages of work somewhat more expanded.

What to choose the type of rotary mechanism?

Homemade garage doors are the most economical option of filling out the garage opening without restrictions in the convenience, functionality and design solutions.

Before you get started, decide on the choice of a mechanism by which the gate is opened directly:

1. A hinge-lever is a widespread simple and reliable mechanism that eliminates the possibility of blocking the sash and makes it possible to open and close the shield without effort. Requires accurate adjustment of the degree of springs tension for high-quality operation of the mechanism. You will also need to install the system as clearly as possible, otherwise the sash can dine.
2. On counterweight. The mechanism works using a cable that is fixed in the lower corners of the frame, passed through the block and has a certain counterweight at the opposite end of the winch. This method of managing the gate makes a serious load on the gate frame, which means that the frame must be made reinforced. The weight of the counterweight should be straight-proportional to the weight of the sash. This mechanism is ideal for the arrangement of heavy gates.

How to make a project?

For competent design of garage doors, do the following:

1. Measure the garage opening.
2. Select ready-made drawings or prepare a sketch yourself based on personal preferences.
   Important! Review the proposed drawings of the garage lifting gates to correctly and quickly cope with this task.

What materials to prepare?

As soon as you make up or pick up the sketch, purchase the following materials and tools for work:

• wooden bars with a size of 120 * 80 mm and 100 * 100 mm for a box and a horizontal ceiling bar, respectively;
• metal pins;
• spring with a diameter of 3 cm;
• corners with sizes 3.5 * 3.5 * 0.4 cm and 4 * 4 * 0.4 for frame and rail;
• stewer bracket 8 * 4.3 * 0.5 cm;
• metal rod 0.8 cm in diameter for tension control.

Mounting order

1. Collect a box of a transverse bar and two longitudinal.
2. Build bars with metal plates.
3. The bottom of the box deepen into the tie of the floor by about 2 cm.
4. Using the pins, fasten the box in the opening.
5. Collect the canvas garage lifting-turning gates.
6. We cover them with sheet metal protection.
7. Make the mechanism support from the corner.
8. Drill holes:
   • for fastening;
   • to install a bracket with a spring;
   • two holes in longitudinal rails.
     Important! Diameter of drilling 10 mm. As a springs support, use a chamber bracket. For its attachment, drill 3 holes in one of the shelves.
9. With the help of iron from iron, make a plate for adjustment.
10. Connect with its help a spring with a bracket.
    Important! On the side turns of the springs, make peculiar hooks, down to attach the tension regulator from the rod.
11. Make a hinged knot from the corner.
12. Drill the hole with a diameter of 8.5 mm.
13. We weld the node to the frame.
    Important! Return from the lower edge 12 cm. Only after that breed the plate, with a hole for mounting the gate lever, to the lever.
14. Make rails for moving the gate of two corners.
15. Connect with welding two corners with one of the edges between themselves, leaving the inner gap between other edges of at least 5 centimeters.
16. We weld the rail to the plate, with the previously drilled holes.
    Important! Leave the 8-centimeter gap between the axis line and the lower edge. After that, retreating 15 cm, weld the slices of the chawller to the rest of the ends.
17. Schwell fasten to the ceiling bar bolt.
    Important! Remember that when installing the gate, you must accurately control the guides.

Additional equipment

The gate canvas, if desired, increase attractiveness and reliability, equip such additions:

1. Translucent, shots. They will serve as peculiar windows.
2. Restricting devices. Protect from pinching.
3. Devices for protection against unauthorized penetration or hacking.

Additional amplification

If necessary, the construction itself is to strengthen one of the appropriate ways:

• restrictive strips - protect the door of the gate from oxidation;
• compensating overlays - close up possible cracks;
• the rubber profile on the contour - significantly strengthens the design.
  Important! The last option is relevant for heavy gates.

How to save when installing a garage gate?

The only thing you can do to save money when choosing a lifting-section garage gate is the installation of such a mechanism with your own hands. All other items, when trying to save, will still demand to sacrifice certain advantages, although individual options are quite acceptable. It all depends on your personal vision of the design of the garage and the regularity of its operation.

Check out some of the most popular decisions to reduce the cost of the garage gate facilities:

1. Ease of use: Savings when refusing to mechanize the device will be approximately 4,000 rubles.
2. Width and height of the opening. Reducing the size of the opening, you can save a certain amount when installing a smaller number of sections. This option is acceptable only if the size of the car itself allows, without limiting your convenience of its placement.
3. Aesthetic appearance. Monophonic materials are relatively inexpensive. If you use them, you can save up to 10% of the budget you calculated to install the lifting gate.

Conclusion

Garage lifting gates - a modern way to protect your garage from hacking with a comfortable and beautiful shield. Take the installation and installation of specialists or make work yourself - to solve only you. The main requirement for further user-friendly operation is the right choice of a suitable type of garage device, competently internal layout and compliance with all the conditions of the assembly instruction.
