Hormann 2601 Elegance (White or Anthracite Grey) Up and Over garage door Steel Hormann

The Hormann 2601 Elegance with its vertical ribbed design is available manually or electrically operated in either canopy or retractable gear.

Factory Fitted Steel Fixing Frame

The steel sub frame offered as an option is also finished in the same white finish as the door and saves a lot of time and money over a timber sub frame option whilst also offering tighter tolerances around the edges of the door panel.

We recommend the steel sub frame for all up and over garage doors.

We offer 2 sizes for the steel sub frame, a 60mm wide frame which can only be used on the canopy operating mechanism and a 75mm wide frame which is offered on the canopy or retractable gear mechanism. The retractable operating gear can only have the 75mm frame option.

Retractable mechanism with steel frame

Choose Handle Option
Choose from a selection of high quality round handles to include euro cylinder security locking with a 2 point internal locking rod system as standard.

A choice of a standard nylon black handle or various aluminium and stainless steel options.

Extra Security Locking
Upgrade to a 4 point locking rod system for the best security and resistance to force entry. The Hormann locking rod system combined with a steel sub frame utilises the steel closing lip along with strategically placed steel plates to prevent easy access to the internal locking catches for the door.

With each locking latch in each corner this is a hard door to break into.

If you decide to order the remote control operator then there is no need to opt for a 4 point locking system as the operator holds the top of the door but the ‘De Latch Security Locking’ is a great device to utilise the manual locking for the retractable gear option in conjunction with the remote control operator by connecting with a mechanical latching system. It will provide a 3 point locking system when added to your door.

If you do not opt for the De Latch system you will have to de commission the manual locking system on the door. For a canopy door the de latch mechanism is not possible with the electric operator, only for the retractable mechanism.

Emergency External Release
This is a cable attachment system internally for providing an external method of disconnecting the remote control operator towing arm for the garage door in the event of a power failure and when you do not have another way of accessing the garage.

Retractable PLUS gear
Only an option if you choose the retractable mechanism on the door. This is a clever cranked arm system to provide a wider drive through width when the door is open by raising the height of the lifting arms either side of the door. It will only provide a wider drive through width for most cars and not 4x4 vehicles. Please check for exact dimensions or ask for clarification depending on the door height chosen.

The door leaf is made of galvanised material. 

Traffic white RAL 9016
Anthracite Grey RAL 7016 

The Steel Frame is powder-coated in the same colour as the door.

The up and over door is available both manually operated or with a remote control electric operator for canopy and retractable gear types.

For the canopy gear option a canopy bow arm converter will be required.

Canopy Doors

Hormann Steel Up and Over Canopy doors have a single torsion spring shaft fixed to the head frame with cable and rollers running in vertical tracks on the inside frame legs.

Spring and vertical tracks incorporate spring and cable break safety system conforming to BS EN 12604. Canopy Door mechanism gives the maximum drive-through width when open and is the easiest to install.

The door is balanced and assisted by torsion springs positioned above the door panel on the head of the fixing frame.

Retractable Doors

Hormann Steel Up and Over Retractable doors have a multiple spring safety system with tight coils to eliminate the risk of fingers being trapped and conform to BS EN 12604.

Retractable Doors are ideal for automation.

The drive-through width on a retractable mechanism is reduced as the lifting arms sit in between the fixing frame when the door is opened, be careful when limited for width that you do not restrict access too much.

Retractable Plus Gear - is required with Retractable Gear to widen the clear passage width to the same as Canopy Gear.

Electric Operators

The Hormann Promatic and Hormann Supramatic Operators are the ideal remote controlled operators for the Hormann Up and Over Garage Doors. They both are supplied with an integral receiver, automatic locking, automatic safety cut-out, emergency release from inside, and a soft start/soft stop function to minimise door wear and tear.

Hormann electric operators are supplied with 2 hand transmitters as standard.

Fittings and locking (Standard Black Nylon handle set):

Round plastic handle on the outside, plastic ‘rotary disc’ on the inside. Special lock with multi-point locking, with profile half cylinder and release button on the inside, 2-point locking by automatic UPVC-latch (adjustable) 4-point locking option is also available for increased security.

De-Latch Security Locking Kit 

When an electric operator is fitted the garage door only locks on the operator – the door is not locked on the locking catches fitted to the door. A delatch kit will engage the locking catches on the garage door as well providing a further level of security.

Standard Specification

Single doors pre-assembled UPVC rollers and UPVC bushes in all door bearings, buffer stop.

Delivery

Single doors come pre-assembled, 1 unit. Lock pack is attached to the back of the door.

Full installation details are provided with the door as well as various components for installing the optional steel fixing frame if ordered. Steel brackets and screws are provided for the fixing frame or timber screws for a timber fixing frame installation - you will only need fixings for installing the steel brackets to your structural opening. All Hormann garage doors are delivered with your chosen operating mechanism factory installed to the door panel and the only item to fix after installing the door is the handle set supplied seperately with the door. The spring is already tensioned on the canopy doors and released by removing a transit screw once the door is installed.   

Installation Positions 

Hormann up and over garage doors with fixing frames can be installed either inbetween or behind the structural garage opening but not in front. The installation position is usually dependant on sizing restrictions or the finish and depth of the garage piers, although aesthetics quite often is a major factor. A garage door fitted onto the inside face of an opening can be wider and higher than a door fitted inbetween the same size opening. If you are not sure please call or email us, it could mean the difference between getting your vehicle into the garage or not.

User Information/Care

Finish - Steel Doors

The coating process applied to the door and chassis is environmentally friendly. Minor scratches or marks are not covered under the conditions of our warranty and should be repaired immediately to prevent corrosion and deterioration of the panel. Corrosive substances such as acids, alkalines, and salts, etc. should be cleaned from the door immediately; failure to do so will result in deterioration of the finish, which will not be covered under our warranty. Should deterioration of the finish start to occur you will need to repaint your door immediately. Prepare the surface lightly with wet and dry. Then treat with solvent based 2 pack epoxy wash primer and a normal commercial paint (cellulose paint must not be used). Hörmann steel doors are a finished product. They do not require re-painting on site. They are however not immune to damage, which can occur at any stage of the handling of the product from factory to site.

Finish - Timber Doors

Timber panels are coated with a neutralising base-stain. Doors must be stored upright, under cover, with wrapping intact, until wrapping is removed. As soon as the door is unwrapped, one coat of a good quality basecoat primer must be applied to both sides of the door. Immediately after installation, your timber doors require a further two coats of a good quality exterior wood finish on both sides. Initial application and periodic treatment should be carried out strictly in accordance with the woodstain manufacturer's instructions. Failure to follow these instructions will result in early deterioration of the timber panel.

Finish - GRP Doors

GRP door panels should periodically washed down using water. This should be done more frequently if fitted near the sea. Bird droppings will bleach the finish on GRP. and should be removed using water as soon as possible. GRP doors should not be painted over.

Paint Finish - Steel Doors

Minor surface damage can easily be repaired using touch up sprays or sticks without invalidating warranties.
