Fast Delivery CarTeck Solid - Made to Measure Door

When a standard size just will not do, our bespoke, purpose made CarTeck Solid insulated sectional door provides the ultimate uncompromised solution without the usual manufacturing wait times. By restricting production to a curated range of three highly popular stock colours, this made to measure special offer guarantees an exceptionally fast delivery turnaround of a maximum of three weeks.*

Manufactured to your exact millimetre dimensions, accommodating impressive sizes up to 5500mm wide and 2250mm high, this door is built specifically for your unique garage opening. Say goodbye to large timber infills, excessive frame packing, or unsightly UPVC cladding; a made to measure door guarantees maximum drive through width, a superior weather seal, and a flawless architectural finish.

A Sleek, Minimalist Solid Design

The 'Solid' profile offers the ultimate in modern, minimalist aesthetics. Unlike ribbed designs, these panels are completely flat with no horizontal creases or lines, creating a seamless and incredibly sleek appearance that perfectly complements contemporary architecture. Beyond its striking exterior, the door is engineered using robust 40mm thick panels, constructed from a twin walled steel skin separated by a high density, 'foamed in place' polyurethane core.

The Advantages of a Purpose Made Fit

• Millimetre Perfect Precision: Ordered to your exact structural opening sizes, ensuring the steel framework and solid panels fit your garage perfectly.
• Maximise Drive Through Space: By eliminating the need to pack out the brickwork to suit a standard size, you retain every available millimetre of drive through width and height.
• Superior Weather Sealing: A door built exactly to your opening ensures the heavy duty industrial weather seals sit flush against your floor, lintel, and brickwork, providing unparalleled protection against draughts and rain.

Premium Features and Benefits

• Exceptional Insulation: The robust 40mm thick double skinned panels and dense foam core provide outstanding thermal and acoustic insulation, helping to regulate your garage temperature year round.
• Space Saving Vertical Operation: The door sections travel vertically upwards through a tight curve and come to rest parallel to the garage ceiling. This vertical operation ensures no outward swing, allowing you to park directly up to the door.
• Low Headroom as Standard: Even on bespoke sizes, you can fit the door and the CarTeck Drive automation system in just 120mm of clear space above the lintel (increasing to 140mm if the width requires double springing).
• Safe and Smooth Operation: Utilising fully enclosed, factory preloaded tension spring trays rather than exposed torsion springs, the custom door operates smoothly, quietly, and with exceptional safety.

*Please note: For any deliveries into Scotland, please contact us with your postcode before ordering so we can confirm exact timescales and any additional freight costs with the manufacturer.

As this is a purpose made to measure door, the ordering process is slightly different. To get started, please use the drop down menus to select the next nearest size up from your required width and height. When you proceed to place your order, you will be provided with specific text boxes to enter your exact millimetre dimensions. Once you have selected your size brackets, you can configure your custom door using the options available below.

Choose Door Panel Colour Finish:
Select your preferred powder coated colour finish. To ensure our fast delivery turnaround, this custom offer is available in our three most popular stock shades: White, Anthracite Grey, or Jet Black. You can choose either a smooth or woodgrain surface texture to complement your minimalist solid panel design, all at no additional cost.
Please note: Where the garage door is exposed to direct and lengthy sunlight, darker colours should ideally be avoided to minimise the risk of panel expansion.

Frame Legs and Head to Match Door Colour:
Choose the colour finish for the outer steel sub frame. Although sectional garage doors are typically installed behind the garage opening (meaning most of the frame is hidden), you will still see the inner edge where it has a small return section. The frame is supplied in white as standard. If any part of the frame will be visible, especially if fitting the door inbetween the structural opening, you can choose to match or contrast the frame colour with your solid door panels.

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 internal brickwork. However, it is entirely possible to fit the door inbetween the opening if required. This is ideal for garages with no internal returns or internal obstacles.
When ordering for an inbetween fit, the sizes must be carefully calculated. You will need to reduce your ordering width and height to accommodate the frame legs, the head section, and a fitting tolerance. Please see our ‘Measure’ tab for full and detailed instructions.

Inbetween Opening Installation Kit:
If you are fitting the door inbetween the structural opening, you will require this specialist kit. It provides the necessary heavy duty bracketry to securely fix the steel sub frame directly within the brickwork aperture.

Choose Remote Control Operator Model:
We highly recommend the CarTeck Drive 600Nm electric operator for the CarTeck Sectional door range. For only a fraction more than the standard 500Nm motor, the 600Nm model delivers a 33% faster opening speed and significantly more lifting power, making it our operator of choice for wide custom doors.
The standard CarTeck Drive 600Nm is an integrated, one piece unit containing the boom, motor, and control panel, designed to mount neatly above the door. Alternatively, the Drive Pro 600Nm features a separate control unit that can be mounted on a wall wherever is most convenient in your garage.
Both automation systems include remote control handsets as standard and feature an integrated LED courtesy light that automatically illuminates when the door is operated.

Emergency External Release (Essential for garages without a second entrance):
If you have no alternative pedestrian access into your garage (such as a side or rear door), we strongly advise adding an emergency manual release mechanism. This external, key operated cylinder allows you to manually disengage the motor drive from the outside, enabling you to lift the door by hand in the event of a power failure.

Wireless 2 Function Wall Switch (Access Pack 2):
This convenient device is a wall mounted, two button switch designed to control one or two garage doors from inside your garage or home. It functions similarly to a standard light switch but requires no complex wiring, operating entirely via a secure, battery powered remote control signal.

Technical Performance and Specifications

The purpose made CarTeck insulated sectional door is precision engineered in Germany to deliver exceptional performance. Manufactured to your exact structural opening sizes up to 5500mm wide and 2250mm high, this bespoke model guarantees a millimetre perfect fit without the need for unsightly timber packers. The solid, unribbed door leaves are constructed using a highly stable 40mm thick core made of special polyurethane foam, sandwiched between corrosion resistant galvanised steel.

Tested Performance Ratings (European Standards):

• Thermal Insulation: The 40mm thick steel panels have a standalone U value of 0.56 W/m²K. When calculated as a complete custom built structural door unit (including all panel joints and weather strips), it achieves an outstanding U value of 1.38 W/m²K.
• Weather Protection: Industrial grade bottom, side, top, and inter panel weather seals work perfectly in tandem with your exact opening dimensions to keep the elements at bay.
• Windload Resistance: Class 2 (EN 12424)
• Watertightness: Class 2 (EN 12425)
• Air Permeability: Class 2 (EN 12426)

Frame Details and Installation Position

The outer frame legs and head fascia are supplied in a smooth white finish as standard to frame the custom solid door neatly.

Fitting Behind the Opening: This is the standard and most aesthetically pleasing installation method. The steel frame sits entirely behind the brickwork reveal, completely concealing the frame edges and resulting in no visible frame holes. Your door is manufactured to perfectly overlap your opening.

Fitting Inbetween the Opening: If you are installing the bespoke door directly within the brickwork reveal, the Inbetween Opening Installation Kit is strictly required to adapt the standard frame.

Sizing adjustments for inbetween fitting: Even on a made to measure door, the physical steel frame has a set width and depth. You must deduct 180mm from your total structural opening width to determine your ordering width. For the height, deduct 120mm for manual doors and 140mm for electric operation to determine your ordering height (if the additional low headroom fitting bracket is purchased, only deduct 120mm for electric doors).

Please note: The legs of the frame, when fitted inbetween the reveal, will display a series of factory drilled holes. You will require a matching cloaking strip or 3D profile cover (not provided) to conceal these holes for a seamless minimalist finish.

Hardware and Optional Extras

• Handle: To maintain the ultra sleek, unblemished exterior profile of the Solid design, no external handle is fitted as standard on electric doors. If you intend to use the custom door manually, a handle set will be required.
• External Emergency Release: Fitted as standard in the top left hand corner of all doors. This allows you to manually detach the motor from the outside in the event of a power cut.

Remote Control Electric Operation

We highly recommend pairing your custom door with the advanced CarTeck Drive automation system. The CarTeck Drive 600Nm motor is powerful enough to effortlessly and safely lift bespoke Solid doors up to 5500mm wide. Its fixed chain drive mechanism is significantly quieter and renowned for long term reliability. All CarTeck Drive 600Nm motors come complete with two Pearl remote control handsets as standard, featuring secure four function buttons.

The difference between the CarTeck Drive and the Drive Pro:

• CarTeck Drive: The standard motor features an integrated drive and control unit that fits discreetly on the ceiling boom directly above the door.
• CarTeck Drive Pro: The Pro version features a separate wall mounted control unit. This can be installed next to an existing power outlet or at a more convenient height in your garage (such as next to a side access door), allowing you to easily open or close your large custom door using the integrated push buttons.

Installation Guidance: Fitting Your Custom Door

Installing a made to measure CarTeck insulated sectional garage door is a substantial project. Because the door is manufactured to your exact millimetre dimensions, it eliminates the need for complex frame packing and timber infills, which actually simplifies the initial fitting process. However, particularly with bespoke sizes reaching up to 5500mm wide, it remains a major undertaking that requires careful consideration before deciding whether to tackle it as a DIY project or hire a professional tradesperson.

Opting for a DIY Installation

If you are highly practical and have experience with large home improvement tasks, fitting the door yourself can be a rewarding way to save on labour costs. Every door is supplied with comprehensive manufacturer instructions. Please consider the following points before proceeding:

• Skill Level: This is an advanced DIY task. You must be completely confident in your ability to drill accurately into brickwork or steel, assemble heavy mechanical components, and ensure perfect alignment.
• Heavy Lifting is Required: A custom sectional door is absolutely not a one person project. The 40mm thick flat Solid panels are incredibly heavy, especially on double width doors up to 5.5m wide. You will need at least one capable assistant to help safely lift the panels into the tracks and hold the frame steady.
• Precision is Critical: The vertical tracks and horizontal ceiling rails must be installed perfectly level, square, and plumb. If the custom frame is even slightly out of alignment, the door will not run smoothly.
• Required Tools: You will need a good quality hammer drill, a reliable spirit level, a socket set, spanners, a tape measure, and two sturdy step ladders.

Safer and Simpler Balancing with Preloaded Springs

Unlike many other large sectional doors that rely on complex and potentially dangerous high tension torsion springs, 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 are supplied fully preassembled 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. This smart design dramatically speeds up the installation process on site. Because the springs are safely housed within these steel channels, tensioning the custom door is significantly safer and easier than wrestling with an exposed torsion spring bar.

When to Hire a Professional Tradesperson

For complete peace of mind, many customers prefer to hire a local garage door installer or a skilled carpenter. You should strongly consider professional installation if:

• Handling Large Sizes: If you have ordered a very wide bespoke door, an experienced installation team will have the correct manpower and techniques to handle the exceptionally heavy unribbed panels safely.
• Your Opening is Uneven: If your garage floor is not perfectly level or your brickwork is severely out of plumb, a professional will have the experience to correctly level and seal the custom frame to ensure a perfect visual fit.
• Electrical Connections: If your garage does not currently have a suitable power supply near the ceiling for the CarTeck Drive motor, you will need to hire a qualified electrician to install a new fused spur or socket.

How to Measure for Your Made to Measure Door

Because this CarTeck Solid sectional door is purpose built to your exact millimetre dimensions, accurate measuring is vital. You are ordering the exact internal structural opening sizes. This completely removes the need for timber infills or UPVC cladding to pack out a standard size door.

For a quick visual reference, please look at 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 your garage 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, maximising your drive through width and keeping the frame hidden.

• 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 up 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 side room 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 up to 5500mm wide that require 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 comfortable fitting tolerance.
• Height: Measure your floor to lintel height. To find your ordering height, you must deduct 120mm (if using the additional low headroom bracket) or deduct 140mm (for standard electric operation without the 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 for a custom size door, please contact our team for verification before placing your order.
