Garage doors with their hands

Garage - that the building, which is mandatory for the vehicle owner, the availability of the garage allows for small repairs, will protect the vehicle from theft and TP. etc. The garage can be a part of your own home or placed in a garage cooperative unit. But all the garages are united by one thing - the presence of high-quality reliable gate. Garage doors in its design may be different, and will rise to the motorist the legitimate question of whether to use one or another goal.

The best option may be ready to buy the gate, but a huge number of benefits provides manufacturing the gate with their hands:

manufacture of gates for their projects;
the possible presence of anti-hacking devices;
availability of individual castles and "secrets".

Garage doors and their choice

Currently, there are a few types of garage doors. Now there has been some focus on Western counterparts gate: for example, the gates that open up doors using the remote control.

Garage doors are:

swing gates

One of the most popular options are more reliable. Such gates are composed of two gate wings, with a possible arrangement in the form of doors and locking cartons. The flaps should fit snugly to each other or be a little overlap. These doors are not difficult to manufacture, and are used for a long time;
sliding gatesUsed recently. Constitute a single flap which narolikah pulls to the wall to the left or right. Such gates are convenient because it saves space when open. There is a performance of the gate with two wings, which depart in opposite directions with respect to the wall. The only drawback of these gates is that, you need a lot of space along the walls, to roll back the gate would not be difficult;
sliding doors with lift-up. Single leaf, which is placed under the ceiling, the door is very fragile. This type of gate is applicable to use of the garage adjacent to the house;
tilt-up doors;
sectional overhead gates;
Rolled gates.

The last three types are the least common in Russia are rare and mostly in private homes. Their main drawback is that they do not retain heat. The main condition for the use of such gates, heated garage. Just lift up the gates with mean clear space in front of the garage, as layered snow hamper growth.

Self-production of garage doors

For example, take the swing gates, the most reliable and easy to manufacture. To build Materials needed:

steel angle;
profile;
sheets "six".

gate design can be made by yourself, you must take into account the height of the size of the aperture and the size of the valves, the width of the garage.

A necessary step in the manufacture of the gate is designing drawings. The drawing can be a sketch or a technical drawing of the dimensional and technological standards. To begin, set the width and height of the gate: door height should be the height of 60 cm. above the vehicle height, the width should be at least 3 meters.

Drawings (Fig. 1) attached to the draft separately represent the arrangement of parts and products, the list of materials and compounds.

frame manufacturer for future swing gates

For the production of the frame corners required 60 mm., A steel profile 20 mm wide. and about 4 mm., armature segments. Tools: Saw "Bulgarian", Roulette, square, plumb, welding, level.

Production frame includes the following processes:

manufacture of corner sections of equal length height and width of the opening of the gate. Joints in corners better cut at mutual angles, it will come in handy at a time when the joints need to boil and connect with each other;
decompose corner segments in the form of a square (rectangle). The following conditions must be observed: the surface on which is laid out Area shall be perfectly flat, the corner joints between them should be 90 degrees;
connect welded corners - we make the frame. Cook better with overlap and an allowance, a weld joint would be more durable. If the frame is slightly "lead" by welding, it is necessary to heat the uneven portion and aligned using levers or hammer;
residues and the stripping cladding welding on an outer side;
welds reinforced loops under the ring.

framework for future manufacturing of swing gates

It includes the following activities:

from the corner of the smaller frame produce, by the same structure as the skeleton frame. frame size should be the same size as the gate;
sheet structure to strengthen or reinforce the segments on the welded joints.

Production of leaflets

We produce two webs size of 2-3 cm of sheet metal. in allowance woodwork;
fabric must be tightly welded to the frame. This design will be the future gate valves;
you must acquire the ring hinges on sash butt hinges on the frame;
think through the locks.

After fabrication of all the fragments of the future gate, you can install. Doors should be hinged on hinges, butt each other, embedded lock.
