Garage doors with the advantages of sectional doors

Käuferle offers a wide range of doors for private and collective garages, including the HT overhead door, which functions like a sectional door with its horizontally centrally divided door leaf.

Germany's leading manufacturer of garage doors

Käuferle is one of the leading manufacturers of garage doors in Germany. Our broad product portfolio includes all types of garage doors and a wide range of matching door technology. With our patented HT up-and-over door, we offer a simple and robust solution that also makes the advantages of a sectional door available for single and double garages. A price comparison with sectional doors and side sectional doors is worthwhile.

Sectional doors as an alternative to conventional garage doors

Sectional doors are garage doors that work differently and are constructed differently to monolithic up-and-over or sliding doors. This is because they do not consist of a single component the size of the garage opening. Instead, they are made up of several horizontal segments that are guided securely under the garage ceiling in lateral rails.

Käuferle HT up-and-over door - the robust, patented solution especially for private garages

The non-swinging HT up-and-over door is ideal for frequently used private garages. It has a door leaf divided horizontally in the middle and made from lightweight, robust aluminium profiles. The patented door design consists of only a few moving parts and is therefore both robust and durable. Thanks to the garage door operator with soft start and soft stop, the door is also low-wear, quiet and durable.

Side sectional doors for special installation situations

Although the basic structure is very similar to that of the sectional door, the side sectional door has vertical segments that are not guided to the ceiling but are moved sideways. This can be particularly advantageous in the case of non-rectangular garage geometries, as the ceiling then remains free of structural installations.

Sectional doors and side sectional doors are space-saving

Regardless of whether the segments move upwards to the garage ceiling or towards a side wall - the minimal pivoting radius of the doors ensures optimum utilisation of the available space. As sectional doors and side sectional doors do not swing out beyond the door level when opening and closing, vehicles can also be parked directly in front of the door.

More room to manoeuvre in the garage: sectional doors with doors and windows

Windows and doors in sectional doors increase your room for manoeuvre. Doors allow access to the garage without necessarily having to open the door. They can also serve as an escape route. Windows can be used to bring daylight deep into the garage and thus improve the quality of stay. Wicket doors are superfluous with side sectional doors: All you need to do is open the door a crack to get into the garage.

Wide range of colours, materials and surfaces

As with sectional doors and side sectional doors, the HT up-and-over door also offers countless project-specific equipment options that are not on the price list. For example, the materials and surfaces of the door coverings are freely selectable: panelling with glazed or painted timber panels and slats are just as much a choice as a wide variety of metal coverings.

Convenient parking with remote controls

Electric garage door openers are available for all our automatic entrance gates. Equipped with a handy radio remote control, they enable intuitive, contactless operation of your HT up-and-over door directly from your car or bicycle. In this way, we guarantee safe and convenient access to your garage.

Customised and with perfect service

We take your project-specific installation situation into account so that you can realise your individual architectural ideas. In addition to garage doors with customised dimensions and equipment, we also offer a comprehensive service. For example, we support you in every planning phase with our expertise in realising your plans.
