The Enduring Popularity Of Up And Over Garage Doors

When it comes to popularity, up and over garage doors might be the most consistent on the market. They’re one of the oldest designs available and have been around for decades, so theoretically should have been superseded by another model by now, but they’ve never left. No matter how many innovations we’ve seen in our chosen industry, up and over doors continue to thrive. We’ve got ample experience here at Look Garage Doors and we’ve worked on hundreds of projects in our time. There are multiple reasons why up and over doors continue to be a popular choice, so let’s take a closer look at these stubborn old designs that refuse to let the newcomers leave them behind.

Highly Efficient Garage Doors

Arguably, the biggest reason people like up and over garage doors is their simplicity. Opening them requires no fancy gadgets, motorised pulleys or other bells and whistles, you just grab the handle, twist it and pull. The door slides open or shut under your own strength and it’s very easy to use. For anyone that despairs of having to connect all their household items to the WiFi and download apps to use them, they’re perfect. Up and over garage doors are unfussy and down-to-earth and it can feel quietly rewarding to have them slide into place entirely thanks to your own power. That being said…

Modernised Variants

Another factor in their continued success is that they’re easy to adapt. Because these garage doors are comparatively simple mechanisms, it’s also relatively easy to modify them. We can provide modern garage doors that you can operate with a remote control, so you won’t even need to get out of the car to open them. This means they’re a good choice for traditionalists and technology lovers alike.

Incredible Security

That aside, up and over garage doors are inherently safe and secure. They’re sturdy and difficult to break into and while you may have heard horror stories of burglars being able to kick them open, they’re no longer accurate. Today’s up and over garage doors are robust, reliable and fitted with advanced locking mechanisms. Anyone who tries to boot your garage door open will only end up hobbling away with their toes broken.

Traditional Aesthetics

Lastly, there’s also the aesthetic appeal. Up and over garage doors have a traditional design that gives them an unassuming vibe and a certain amount of rough-hewn charm. Some people may prefer a sleek and up-to-date look, but the more old-fashioned style is a big part of why these doors continue to sell.

Take all this into account and we can understand why up and over garage doors have thrived for so long. We’ve no doubt that our customers will continue to request them and we’ll keep working with these doors for years to come.
