The Hormann LPU 42 doors are a range of steel insulated sectional doors for domestic applications. They are prepared as standard for any of the Hormann electric garage door operators and the doors are suitable for 10 operations per day in accordance with the guarantee conditions. Sectional garage doors open vertically and then slide back into the garage at a higher level than an up and over one piece door. They offer great levels of insulation, security and also optimise your drive through dimensions in most cases.
U-value of the Hormann LPU42 door with ThermoFrame: 1.2 W/(m²·K)1)
Hormann LPU42 sectional doors come as standard without a door handle set and lock.
Any handles are to be ordered separately and come complete with a template for on-site fitting.
Colours
There are a wide range of powdercoat colours and special colours finishes along with printed and laminate foil coated doors to replicate woodgrain or slategrain building materials.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL Hormann LPU 42 steel sectional doors have WHITE powdercoated finish for the fixing frame legs as standard and the frame head section profile is either in the same colour as the door colour or a complimentary powdercoat solid colour when it is a laminated or printed door finish. If you require a matching colour for the whole frame you need to buy the frame cover profile sets to suit your requirements.
Frame Cover Profiles
The optional frame cover profiles are to cover the fixing frame legs when exposed.
ALL Hormann sectional door frame legs are white powdercoated as standard, regardless of the door colour chosen. These frame covers are an additional cost option and are designed to match the chosen colour of the garage door and are supplied as a pair to the height of the door ordered. The header frame is self-coloured to the door as standard.
Choose from either 55mm wide or 90mm wide profiles depending on whether the frame is partially showing behind an opening or fully exposed when installing inbetween.
Track Applications
You will see references with every single Hormann sectional door size to either a Z or N track. This is the tracking and spring arrangement reference, where a Z track system uses tension springs at either side of the door and the N track system for larger door sizes has a torsion spring sitting above the door and requires more headroom for the larger curve in the tracking.
There is also an L or H track arrangement available. L is low headroom where the torsion spring is relocated to the rear of the horizontal internal tracking to provide lower headroom at the front where space might be limited. H is for ‘high lift’ tracking where we can have the door manufactured with the vertical tracking rising higher than normal to take the door panels as high as possible inside your garage with options for angles tracking too if you want to follow your roofline and maximize internal space.
Most Hormann sectional doors are sold with the Z track application system and some models dont have the same limits on the sizes where this is offered.
For Silkgrain doors, Track Application Z is available:
Up to a height of 2625 for doors up to 3000 wide.
For non-Silkgrain doors, Track Application Z is available:
Up to a height of 2625 for doors up to 3250 wide.
Up to a height of 2375 for doors up to 3500 wide.
Up to a height of 2250 for doors up to 4000 wide.
Inbetween Opening installation kit
Hormann sectional doors are designed primarily for fitting to the inside face of a garage structural opening, but you can also fit inbetween the opening but then do need to purchase additional components to assist with this.
If you are fitting inbetween the structural garage opening the ‘Inbetween Opening Installation Kit’ is required as a minimum, to adapt the steel frame legs, which are designed as standard for behind opening fitting.
The upright legs of the steel frame when fitted inbetween will have a series of factory drilled holes showing and the frame legs are always white powdercoated whatever door colour finish is ordered so you will also need frame cover profiles or have another method to cloak the fixing frame from the outside.
Please email or talk to us when installing inbetween as there are many other components available to enhance this door installation position.
External Emergency Release
The emergency manual release is required on any remote control electric door where there is no other means of access to the garage. It is used in a power failure to release the top panel of the garage door from the electric operator towing arm. We will send the appropriate release mechanism depending on whether the door has a handle set or not. If it does not have a handle the emergency release is a small key access point drilled into the top panel of the door.
The new BiSecur, hand held transmitters for opening automatic doors and gates, feature bi-directional FM radio signals that use the same 128 bit encryption employed by banks for online banking security. Not only does this system make the transmitters more secure but also means that the signal is more reliable and gives extended operating distances.
Another benefit of the new BiSecur system, is that it includes a remote status query. A simple push of a button will tell you whether an out of sight door is open or closed. The multicolour LED light shows red if the door is open and green if closed. The door can be closed even when out of sight, the LED displaying a blue light until the door is closed and the light turns to green. In this circumstance it is recommended that an additional photocell is installed for added safety.

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.
