Overview of Garage Door Lift Types
- Type 1
Standard lift setup for residential projects: For ceiling headroom, 8 ½ inches are required when using extension springs, which are mounted above the two horizontal tracks. With torsion springs, 12 inches of headroom are necessary, measured above the garage door header.
- Type 2
Designed for situations where there are transom windows (above the garage door opening) or when the objective is to maximize vertical space within the garage.
- Type 3
Used when there is insufficient space for low front headroom. This setup is necessary when the space above the door is less than 8 inches for torsion spring systems.
- Type 4
Used when there isn’t adequate space for a standard lift setup. This configuration is necessary when the clearance above the door is less than 8 ½ inches for extension spring applications and less than 10 inches for torsion spring applications.
- Type 5
A fast-install vertical setup for environments where the door opens along the wall, prioritizing speed and ease, ideal for commercial and high-demand settings.
- Type 6
Commonly used for commercial projects, this setup allows the door to open vertically along the wall above it. In this configuration, the headroom required matches the height of the door, similar to the doors typically found at loading docks.
- Type 7
Inclined track setup, used when the garage door system needs to align with the angle of the roof slope.
