FAQs: Direct Drive Sectional Doors

Here you will find the most important questions and answers regarding ASSA ABLOY direct drive sectional doors.

  • Sectional doors are often subjected to extreme stress, such as in car wash facilities. A direct drive overhead door replaces the standard spring system with an electric motor directly attached to the door. This motor is less prone to contamination by rust or dirt, enhancing opening and closing performance while reducing the risk of wear and failure.

  • While technically feasible, installing a direct drive overhead door yourself is not recommended due to the process's complexity and potential safety risks. ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems and its service partners across the UK always offer professional installation of industrial or sectional doors with direct drive to ensure proper installation and safety. Our experts also handle maintenance or repairs as needed.

  • Sectional doors with direct drive are often chosen as alternatives due to their ability to meet extreme requirements, especially in environments like car washes with high utilisation and corrosion sensitivity. Tradition sectional doors with a spring system may struggle in such conditions, leading to increased wear and potential defects. Direct drive sectional doors ensure smooth operation even under harsh conditions.

  • The lifespan of a direct drive sectional door varies depending on factors like door quality, frequency of use, specific application area, and regular maintenance. Overhead door motors are generally less prone to wear and contamination than traditional systems, making them less maintenance intensive. However, regular maintenance and care, including annual inspections, are essential for ensuring smooth operation over many years.

  • ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems provides various customisation options for direct drive sectional doors. Depending on specific needs, the door size can be adjusted up to the maximum specified size. Different wind load classifications can be accommodated based on requirements. Additionally, windows and pass doors can be added to the sectional door with direct drive upon request.
