The Carteck Solid insulated sectional garage door is also available as a purpose made model, giving homeowners greater flexibility where standard sizing is not suitable. With its smooth, unbroken panel design, this door creates a sharp and understated appearance that works especially well on modern properties. Free from ribbed or panelled detailing, the Solid design delivers a clean, architectural look that suits contemporary garage openings perfectly. This made to order version is available in sizes up to 5500mm wide and 3000mm high, making it ideal for larger or more individual opening requirements.
Finished in White RAL 9016, the door offers a bright, crisp surface that complements modern brickwork, render and contrasting frame colours. Its sectional opening action rises vertically, helping to maximise the space inside the garage as well as the area directly in front of it. Combining made-to-measure practicality with a very modern and minimalistic design, the Carteck Solid is an excellent choice for customers who want a sleek insulated garage door with a more tailored fit.
- Elegant white + choice of 4 textures
- German engineering at its best
- 40mm thick insulated panels
- Easiest installation and safest mechanism
All Carteck Sectional Garage doors have 40mm thick double skinned insulated panels, constructed of an outer and inner steel skin separated by a 'foamed in place' core, ideal for thermal and acoustic applications.
No Twist Fix Brackets? (see our news item here for further information):

- No loss in headroom - fit the Carteck Drive Operator in just 120mm - low headroom as standard on 95%+ of all door sizes! This only increases to 140mm when double springing is needed on the very tallest and widest doors.
- House with a garage attached? Use the 240mm headroom kit to lift the tracks up and out of the way, no more bumps to your head when entering and exiting your garage.
- Gas meter or obstruction in the way - just use the free headroom kit to lift the tracks up, giving you extra room to clear the obstruction on install.
Please Note: Doors Over 2250mm high will have holes drilled in the frame. It is advised that the customer will either need to clad over the holes themselves or you may purchase 3D 85mm Profile Covers (POA) - we can advise on this if required.
Door Colour:
In white choose from woodgrain, micrograin, stucco or smooth finish.
Choose Door Panel Colour Finish:
Select your preferred powdercoat colour finish for the outer framework on the door panels from a range of 16 Trend colours offered. RAL references for colours are provided as a guide only to the nearest similar RAL colour and colours will not match other RAL finishes with different coating processes, gloss content and surface texture finishes.
The surface finish for the door panel frames are a smooth finish.
Where the door is exposed to direct and lengthy sunlight darker colours should be avoided.
Frame legs and Head to match door 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. Standard colour is white and if any of the frame is showing or it is fitted inbetween 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 inbetween 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 inbetween if required – when there are no returns, internal obstacles, etc.
The sizes for ordering should be carefully calculated when fitting inbetween the opening reducing the ordering width by the frame legs and head section along with a tolerance for fitting too. See our ‘Measure’ tab for full details.
Inbetween Opening Installation Kit:
If fitting the door inbetween 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
We highly recommend the Carteck Drive 600Nm electric operator for the Carteck Sectional door range. The 600NM is only a fraction more than the 500Nm but it is 33% faster in opening speed and more powerful too obviously and hence our operator of choice for this door range.
The standard Carteck Drive 600Nm is a one piece integrated unit with boom, motor and control in one unit to mount above the door. The Drive Pro 600Nm has a separate control unit than can be mounted wherever is most convenient in your garage to suit.
Both systems have remote control operation as standard and both have an integrated courtesy LED light built in which operated when the motor is used and switches off automatically. Add options for additional control as required from our options list
Emergency External Release for garages with a second entrance:
If you have no other means of access into your garage then we strongly advise you have an emergency manual release mechanism. It is a key cylinder operated from the outside of the door which provides a manual facility to disengage the motor drive from the door enabling the door to be lifted manually when there is a power failure.
Wireless 2 function Wall Switch:
This is a remote control device in the form of a wall mounted 2 button switch to control one or 2 garage doors from inside your garage or home. Like a light switch but without and cables and a battery remote control signal for operation. (Called Access Pack 2).
Parking Pack 1
Parking Pack 1 is compatible with the CarTeck DRIVE/ DRIVE PRO 600. Help find the perfect parking position in your garage easier with the CarTeck parking laser and reflector. See information leaflet here
Bluetooth Door Operation:
Control up to 10 electric operators with the SomWeb app supporting voice control via Siri and Google assistant and Alexa.
Somweb is the secure smart home solution where all data stays in your garage and enables you to control electric operators via a smartphone app, tablet or web browser.
Door Colour: White
Frame legs and head are smooth and white as standard.
Lead Times: Approx 2-3 weeks for delivery on standard sizes. Approx 6 weeks for delivery on non standard sizes and colours.
Please note these lead times are approximate and are subject to change.
Optional Extras:
Handle - no external handle is fitted as standard. Will be required for a manually operated door.
External Emergency Release - fitted as standard in the top left hand corner of all doors.
Inbetween Opening Installation Kit - If you are fitting inbetween the structural opening this kit is required to adapt the steel frame which is designed as standard for behind fitting. The legs of the frame when fitted inbetween will have a series of factory drilled holes showing which will require a cloaking strip (not provided).*
*If fitting between the opening, please deduct 180mm from the opening width to determine the ordering width.
Deduct 120mm for manual doors and 140mm for electric operation (unless the additional fitting bracket is purchased then 120mm applies) from the opening height to determine the ordering height.
Remote Control Electric Operator:
The Carteck Drive 600N can lift any size door.
The integrated drive and control unit of the Carteck Drive fits discreetly above the door.
The fixed chain drive of the Carteck Drive range is quieter and renowned for long-term reliability compared to revolving chain or belt designs.
The Carteck Drive 600N comes with x2 Pearl Handsets as standard. The Pearl transmitters have 4-function buttons.
The difference between the Carteck Drive and the Drive Pro:
The Carteck Drive Pro has a seperate control unit that can be mounted by an existing power outlet or at a convenient position in the garage, perhaps by a side access door so you can open or close the door using the push buttons on the front of the control unit as you leave or enter your garage.
Additional accessories are available for the Drive 600 (Pro).
Please Note: Door heights greater than 2375mm, a 1096mm rail extension will be required at an extra cost.
Installation Position:
Fitting within the reveal - no holes in frame - fitting kit included
Please Note: Any door heights over 2250mm high - frames cannot be supplied undrilled.
Safer, Simpler Installation with Preloaded Tension Springs
Unlike many other sectional garage doors that rely on complex and potentially dangerous high-tension torsion springs mounted directly above the door, the CarTeck system utilises a far safer, multi-spring tension system.
To make installation as straightforward and safe as possible, all single layer spring trays for standard CarTeck doors are now supplied fully pre-assembled straight from the factory. The high level tension springs come preloaded within their fully enclosed steel trays, complete with the lifting cables already perfectly routed and retained by anti-twist brackets. This incredibly smart design not only prevents dirt from entering the mechanism, boosting durability, but it also dramatically speeds up the installation process on site. The multiple spring system evenly balances the weight of the door panels, whilst the dual retaining cables reliably support the door in all situations, meaning it remains safe and operational even in an emergency. Because the springs are safely housed within these steel channels, tensioning the door is significantly safer and easier than wrestling with an exposed torsion spring bar.

How to Measure for Your New CarTeck Sectional Door
Measuring for a sectional garage door is straightforward once you understand how the dimensions work. All CarTeck sectional doors are ordered by their internal structural opening dimensions (the actual drive through width and height). Unlike some other door types, the steel installation frame is always calculated as an addition or reduction to these internal dimensions, depending on your chosen installation position.
For quick visual reference, please refer to the 3D technical drawings located in the image gallery at the top of this page. These clearly show how the frame fits in relation to the opening.
Measuring for a 'Behind the Opening' Fit (Standard)
This is the ideal and most common way to install a sectional door. The door and its steel framework sit entirely on the inner face of the garage wall.
- Width: Measure the brick to brick width of your garage opening in several places. Your ordering width is simply the smallest of these measurements.
- Height: Measure from the finished floor level to the underside of the lintel. Your ordering height is this exact measurement.
- Check your clearances: Because the frame sits behind the brickwork, you must ensure you have sufficient internal space. You will need a minimum of 85mm to 90mm of clear sideroom on both the left and right sides of the opening to accommodate the frame legs.
- Check your headroom: You must also have a minimum of 120mm of clear headroom between the lintel and the ceiling to accommodate the top track and motor (this increases to 140mm for very large doors requiring double springing).
Measuring for an 'Inbetween the Opening' Fit
If you do not have internal brickwork returns, the door must be installed directly between the brick pillars using the optional 'Inbetween Opening Installation Kit'.
- Width: Measure your brick to brick opening. To find your ordering width, you must deduct 180mm from this opening size (this allows for the two frame legs and a fitting tolerance).
- Height: Measure your floor to lintel height. To find your ordering height, you must deduct 120mm (if installing a manual door or using the additional low-headroom bracket) or deduct 140mm (for standard electric operation without the special bracket).
Important Depth Check: Sectional doors travel horizontally into the garage space. It is essential to check that your garage is deep enough to accommodate the full length of the tracks and the motor boom. Ensure you have clear, unobstructed space running back into the garage equivalent to the height of the door plus approximately 350mm to 600mm.
If you have any doubts whatsoever about measuring your garage opening, please contact our team for verification before placing your order.
