Was ist ein Schwingtor?

Ein Schwingtor ist ein Garagentor, das an Scharnieren befestigt ist und nach oben schwingt, um die Garage zu öffnen und zu schließen. Es besteht aus einem einzelnen Stück, das in der Regel aus Metall oder einem anderen stabilen Material gefertigt sein kann.

Wie funktioniert ein Schwingtor?

Ein Schwingtor wird durch seitliche Scharniere an den vertikalen Stützen der Garage befestigt. Es öffnet sich, indem es nach oben schwingt und parallel zur Garagendecke liegt. Zum Schließen wird es nach unten geschwungen und verriegelt.

Welche Vor- und Nachteile hat ein Schwingtor?

Vorteile eines Schwingtores sind seine Robustheit, einfache Konstruktion und die Möglichkeit der manuellen Bedienung im Falle eines Stromausfalls. Nachteile sind der Platzbedarf, da das Tor während des Öffnens nach außen schwingt, und die begrenzte Isolierungsfähigkeit im Vergleich zu anderen Toren.

Sind Schwingtore elektrifizierbar?

Ja, Schwingtore können elektrisch nachgerüstet werden. Es gibt spezielle elektrische Antriebssysteme, die an Schwingtoren installiert werden können, um sie bequem per Knopfdruck zu öffnen und zu schließen.

Wie groß kann ein Schwingtor sein?

Die Größe eines Schwingtores hängt von der Konstruktion der Garage und den individuellen Anforderungen ab. In der Regel können Schwingtore in verschiedenen Breiten und Höhen angepasst werden, um den vorhandenen Platz zu nutzen.

Wie wartungsintensiv sind Schwingtore?

Schwingtore erfordern regelmäßige Wartung, um ein reibungsloses Funktionieren sicherzustellen. Die Scharniere und Verriegelungen sollten auf Verschleiß überprüft, geölt und ggf. justiert werden. Außerdem ist es wichtig, das Tor auf Risse oder Beschädigungen zu überprüfen und diese gegebenenfalls zu reparieren.

Gibt es Sicherheitsvorkehrungen für Schwingtore?

Ja, Schwingtore können mit verschiedenen Sicherheitsvorrichtungen ausgestattet werden, wie z.B. Federbruchsicherungen, die das Tor stabil halten, wenn eine Feder bricht, oder Sicherheitsverriegelungen, um unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen zu verhindern. Es ist wichtig, diese Sicherheitsvorkehrungen regelmäßig zu überprüfen und zu warten.

Up-and-over doors - the classics

Up-and-over garage doors have been the classic garage door for many decades. They are particularly suitable for private garages and have one-piece door leaves that swing as a whole under the garage ceiling when opened in a frame. Thanks to their simple, robust technology and electric drives, they are among the most cost-effective door solutions.

Electric up-and-over doors made to measure

We take into account the individual installation situation of your garage so that you can always realise your own personal architectural ideas. In this way, for example, door coverings can be freely designed with vertical and horizontal divisions and with a variety of materials.

Colours and surfaces set accents

There are virtually no limits when it comes to the design of your up-and-over garage door. We offer numerous tried-and-tested standard colours and surfaces, but can also fulfil many special requests if required: for example, cladding with glazed or painted wooden panels and battens as well as metal cladding in the frequently requested anthracite or other project-specific colours.

Many options for drives and equipment

Electric up-and-over garage doors from Käuferle have individually configured electric drive, control and switch solutions which, together with many accessories, ensure a high level of user convenience. Up-and-over garage doors with doors (whether as wicket or side doors) are also available with customised wooden or metal side panels.

Sophisticated technology

Our electric up-and-over garage doors for collective garages are tested in accordance with DIN EN 13241 and designed for many door cycles. Thanks to the garage door operator with soft start and soft stop and the intelligent lightweight aluminium construction, they are also low-wear, quiet and durable.

Simple, convenient operation

Electric garage door openers from Käuferle are available for all types of garage doors and offer a convenient alternative to ceiling pull switches, radio code buttons and key switches on external walls or free-standing key switch columns. Radio remote controls from Käuferle allow contactless operation of our up-and-over garage doors at the touch of a button directly from a car or bicycle.

Radio remote controls for up-and-over doors

Our radio controls have a modern multi-channel system. For use in large, highly frequented collective garages, we can programme up to 2000 hand-held transmitters if required. As our hand-held transmitters are individually programmed for each door system, they ensure a high level of security.

Technical expertise

Our electric up-and-over doors are based on Käuferle's technical expertise. They are designed and manufactured exclusively in Germany and are always perfectly customised to the installation situation. In the event of power failures or technical faults, they can easily be unlocked manually for opening or closing.

Up-and-over doors with doors

When entering or leaving your garage, it is not always necessary to open the entire up-and-over door. Instead, passage is often quicker and easier if a door integrated into the garage door is used. Such doors not only increase ease of use, they often also serve as necessary escape routes.

Our service promise

We not only offer garage doors with customised dimensions and equipment, but also a comprehensive service to support you in every planning phase. Our all-round door service with trained specialists and original spare parts is also available throughout Germany for the maintenance and repair of up-and-over doors in collective garages.

Customised dimensions possible

Regardless of whether you are planning small or large single, double or terraced garages - our electric up-and-over garage doors are available in a wide range of sizes. Ultimately, you decide on the clear passage width or whether you want to install the door between or behind the reveal or behind a lintel or under the smooth ceiling.

FAQs

Garage doors

When will my gate be put into operation?

Please contact our customer service when all preliminary work (such as laying the cables) has been completed and the gate area can be walked on freely. We will then arrange an individual appointment with you.

Which cables does the electrician have to lay for my new door?

After your door system has been approved, you will receive a cable routing plan tailored to your order. This plan shows all the cables that the electrician you have commissioned will need in order to carry out all the work.

Do I have to carry out maintenance on my gate system?

Inspections and maintenance of gate systems are regulated by law in Germany. However, many operators of gate systems are not aware that they have this responsibility. We would be happy to make you an offer for one-off maintenance or a maintenance contract. Your gate system will then be serviced once a year by our expert fitters.

Where can I get spare parts for my garage door?

Door systems are subject to heavy use on a daily basis, which can result in wear and tear. Thanks to the simple and clear design, some parts can be replaced quickly. Our customer service will be happy to help you. You can reach us on 0180 3900505 or at [email protected].

The emergency stop button is missing from my new gate system. Has this been forgotten?

Due to defined exceptions in the standards and guidelines, an emergency stop command device is not mandatory for our door systems, which of course comply with the latest state of the art.

After 15 years of continuous operation, one of the torsion springs on our door is defective. Do both springs now have to be replaced?

Please replace both springs. The springs are calculated for fixed load changes. If one spring breaks, the second spring is also just before the calculated breaking limit and should therefore be replaced. Our customer service team can offer you the necessary spare parts or carry out the repair of the gate system on request.

Partition systems

Do you also supply the locking cylinders for the UTS doors or which cylinder type is installed?

We will be happy to supply you with a locking cylinder for each door. However, this is not integrated into the locking system of your building. If you prefer a cylinder that matches the locking system, you will need a half cylinder in size 10/30 for our UTS doors with a PZ handle and a half cylinder in size 30/60 for doors with a lever handle set.
