How we replace an up-and-over door in Donaghcloney
- 1
Check the gear type first
Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Donaghcloney opening, so we identify what is there before quoting.
- 2
Measure structural opening and headroom
Up-and-over needs clear headroom above the lintel and swing room on the drive, both checked on site in BT66.
- 3
Fit to a steel or timber subframe
We renew the subframe where the old one has rotted rather than hanging a new leaf on tired timber.
- 4
Balance, lock and hand over
Spring tension set to the leaf weight, lock aligned, and manual operation demonstrated before we leave Donaghcloney.

Donaghcloney up-and-over FAQ
Q.How much drive space does an up-and-over door need in Donaghcloney?
The leaf swings out roughly a third of its height as it opens, so allow around 600 mm clear in front. On short Donaghcloney drives we usually recommend a roller instead.
Q.How long does the install take?
A straight swap is a half-day. Add a couple of hours where the subframe is being renewed or the opening needs making good.
Q.Do you fit Georgian panelled styles?
Yes. Georgian and vertical rib remain the two most requested patterns on traditional Donaghcloney frontages, in white and woodgrain finishes.
Q.Will a new up-and-over fit my existing frame?
Often yes, but we quote the leaf and the subframe together so you are not left with a new door on failing timber.
Q.Canopy or retractable, which suits a agri buildings?
Canopy gear is simpler and leaves a third of the leaf projecting under the lintel. Retractable runs the leaf fully back on horizontal tracks, takes an operator better and suits wider Donaghcloney openings.
Q.Can an up-and-over door be automated?
Yes, with a boom operator and a converter arm. Retractable gear takes automation cleanly; canopy gear needs a conversion kit, which we price on the survey.
