A sectional door is made up of multiple horizontal panels that open vertically and curve along tracks to sit neatly under the ceiling. This design saves space, provides strong insulation options, and suits a wide range of commercial applications. Unlike roller doors, sectional doors offer a smoother, quieter operation and are ideal when overhead clearance is required.
Commercial and industrial sectional doors can differ significantly based on your site. Therefore the costs varies depending on size, materials, insulation, and hardware requirements. Your Grifco dealer can provide a tailored quote based on your site, door type, and operational demands.
Tensioning a sectional garage door involves adjusting the torsion springs to ensure smooth, balanced operation. Because these springs are under high tension, this process can be dangerous and should only be carried out by a trained technician. Incorrect tensioning can lead to door imbalance, excessive wear, or safety issues, so always engage a professional Grifco dealer.
Grifco sectional door operators are designed with a built‑in manual release so you can operate the door safely if there’s a power outage. To use the door manually, simply pull the red manual release cord or handle to disengage the motor from the door. Once released, you can lift or lower the sectional door by hand.
When power is restored or you’re ready to return to normal operation, gently move the door to the fully closed position and re‑engage the manual release mechanism. The operator will then reconnect and resume powered operation.
For safety, always ensure the area is clear and the door is stable before operating it manually. If the door feels heavy, unbalanced, or difficult to move, contact your authorised Grifco dealer for assistance.
