The Garador Salisbury uses a one-piece up-and-over door panel that pivots upwards and moves into the garage as it opens. Unlike a sectional or roller door, the panel remains in one piece throughout the opening cycle, with the exact movement determined by whether canopy or retractable lifting gear is selected.
Galvanised Steel Construction
The door panel is made from high-grade galvanised steel, with a zinc coating protecting the underlying metal against corrosion. A powder-coated finish is then applied across the panel to provide further protection from weathering while giving the door its finished appearance.
Garador uses spot welds rather than visible rivets to join the steel sheets and rear braces, creating a smooth external surface. The panel is built around a galvanised steel box-section chassis, with twin galvanised back braces reinforcing the door leaf and helping it remain rigid during operation.
Vertical Ribbed Design with Glazed Windows
The Salisbury uses the same vertical ribbed profile as Carlton and Horizon's close relatives in Garador's ribbed door range, with crystal or stippled glazing set into the top row of panels as standard. The glazing lets daylight into the garage while limiting visibility from outside, adding both natural light and a decorative detail to the door's front elevation. On doors ordered with the Secured by Design specification, the window panes are black and non-translucent.
Locking and Safe Operation
Two-point locking is fitted as standard, with the locking arrangement changing according to the lifting gear. Canopy doors use a tubular latch system at the top of the door, while retractable doors use rotary latches positioned at the lower corners.
The safety mechanisms also differ between the two systems. Canopy lifting gear uses an anti-drop device to stop the door falling in the event of a spring or cable failure, while retractable lifting gear uses a triple spring system and a secure parking position to help keep the door controlled when open.
Lifting Gear Options
The lifting gear determines how the Salisbury moves as it opens, how much space the mechanism uses inside the garage, and whether the door is well suited to electric automation. Both options use the same one-piece door panel, but the opening path and supporting hardware differ.
Canopy Lifting Gear
With canopy lifting gear, the door pivots upwards without horizontal tracks running back into the garage. When fully open, around one-third of the door projects outside the opening, with the remainder forming a canopy overhead.
Garador offers canopy lifting gear on certain standard Salisbury door sizes up to 2438mm wide and 2136mm high. A zinc-coated torsion spring helps raise and lower the panel, with steel cables running around a cast-alloy drum to control its movement. Guide rails keep the door travelling in a fixed path, while an anti-drop mechanism prevents it from falling if a spring or cable fails.
Retractable Lifting Gear
With retractable lifting gear, the door travels upwards and then back along horizontal tracks inside the garage. When fully open, the bottom of the panel sits flush with the garage opening rather than projecting outside.
Retractable gear is available for standard single Salisbury doors up to 2438mm wide. Solid steel pivot arms, a triple spring system, and horizontal guide rails control the movement of the panel, while a secure parking position helps prevent the open door from rolling forwards unexpectedly.
Garador recommends retractable lifting gear where electric automation is planned, making it the better choice for buyers intending to add a GaraMatic operator. The exact Salisbury size available with either lifting system depends on the final door specification.
Security and Secured by Design Option
For additional security, the Salisbury is available with an optional Secured by Design specification. This adds a galvanised steel frame for greater structural strength, along with additional steel plates around the lower locking points.
The lock body is further protected by a reinforcing plate and anti-snap cylinder, while the rear of the door is upgraded from two braces to at least eight for greater resistance against forced entry. This configuration is supplied for manual operation and is not suitable for automation.The Garador Salisbury uses a one-piece up-and-over door panel that pivots upwards and moves into the garage as it opens.
