The CarTeck AutoTrend range of remote control sectional garage doors is designed with cost-conscious buyers in mind, offering a combination of affordability, curb appeal, and performance. Here are some key features and benefits of the CarTeck AutoTrend range:
Great Value
These garage doors are a factory prepared package, making them a great choice if you need a high quality insulated door with electric operation.
Made to Order
AutoTrend range is custom-made, allowing you to get a product that perfectly fits your garage's dimensions with no additional cut down fees.
Colour Options
To compliment the 20 colour options you can choose a colour-matched frame to create a seamless and attractive finish. Moreover, all Trend colours are available at the same price as white, giving you more design choices.
Remote Control Electric Operation
The CarTeck AutoTrend range comes with the CarTeck Drive 500 remote control electric opener, which is considered a leading technology in the industry. It includes Pearl Twin Transmitters, making it easy and convenient to operate your garage door remotely. Upgrade if required to the 60o within our buying process.
You can also choose an inbetween installation kit if you are not able to install to the inside face of your garage..
Choose Your Door Panel Colour Finish:
Select your preferred powdercoat colour finish from 20 of our most popular high quality Trend colours in either smooth or woodgrain finish, all at no additional cost.
Where the door is exposed to direct and lengthy sunlight, most darker colours should be avoided if possible.
Fixing Frame Legs and Head profile colour:
Choose the colour you require for the outer steel frame system. Although many sectional garage doors are fitted behind the garage opening so you don’t see the sub frame you will still see the edge of the frame where it has a small return section. The standard colour finish is white RAL 9016 and if any of the frame is showing or it is fitted in between you can contrast the door colour to the door panel colour if required.
Installation Position:
Tell us whether you are fitting the door behind or in between the structural opening.
Sectional garage doors were originally designed to install behind the structural opening of a garage, but it is now possible to fit the door in between the aperture if required – when there are no returns, internal obstacles, etc.
The sizes for ordering should be carefully calculated when fitting in between the opening, reducing the ordering width by the frame legs and head section along with some tolerance for fitting too. See our ‘Measure’ tab to the right for full details.
In Between Opening Installation Kit:
If fitting the door in between the structural opening you will need this kit to secure the steel sub frame to the opening with the special set of bracketry.
Choose Remote Control Operator Model
The Autotrend electric motor is specified depending on the door size chosen.
Any doors up to 4877mm wide will have the MOTOR LM60 and doors over 4877mm will have the LM75 model as standard. You can select to have the LM75 motor drive for your door size if required and it does have the extra wall mounted wireless wall switch and an opening speed of 200mm/sec where the LM60 is 160mm/sec.
Both motor options include 2 no. 4 channel hand transmitters as standard. And both motors also have built in LED lighting neatly designed into the motor head unit for powerful courtesy lighting when using the electric motor. The lighting switches off automatically after a period of time.
The electric motor control units’ safety circuits monitor force levels many times every second. If the door encounters an obstruction, it is instantly sensed and the motor stops and reverses a short distance. Carteck doors and openers are independently tested and certified to all current safety legislation and carry a CE/UKCA mark.
Additional Control Accessories
You can choose to have one of these extra control options for your garage door operator:
Wireless Keypad for internal or external use. Set up a 4 digit pin to effortlessly access your garage without carrying a key or handset. You can also set up temporary codes for visitors.
Wireless 2 Channel Wall Control - A wireless 2 channel wall switch for internal use only. Operate 2 doors from this convenient and simple battery powered wall switch
Emergency External Release - for garages with no other entrance:
If you have no other means of access into your garage, apart from the garage door, then we strongly advise you to have an emergency manual release mechanism fitted to the door panel and externally accessible. It is a key cylinder operated from the outside of the door which provides a manual facility to disengage the electric motor drive from the door enabling the door to be lifted manually when there is a power failure or other potential issue.
Handle - no external handle is fitted as standard as this door is electrically operated.
and springs located at the highest level for safety.

Thermal Transmittance: EN 13241 1.38 W/m2k

What’s in a number? The Carteck 40mm thick panels have an insulating value that has been independently tested to 0.56 W/m²K. The lower the value the better the insulating properties are for a door. The door panel on its own is not a figure we tend to quote because we know a door is more than just the one panel. Make sure you check any comparable insulated doors and whether it is the installed value or just a piece of the door panel.
Carteck quote the insulation value for a complete door (8’0” wide x 7’0” high) including the panel joints and weather strips. CarTeck Autotrend sectional has an insulation ‘U value’ of 1.38 W/m²K
- you won’t find better performance on any comparable garage door.
