Product summary:

Purposely designed for canopy style doors, this excellent opener mounts on the right-hand side of your garage door frame and does not need a bow arm converter.  It is a far better solution than a standard opener with Bow arm because it meets new European directives on auto-reverse pressure introduced in 2005 that the bow arm solution often fails to meet.

Security:  The Autoglide integrates with the door latching system and the remote control uses anti-scan rolling code technology with over a billion unique security code combinations to ensure your garage remains secure. 

Safety:  The 'Smart Entry System' learns the unique operating characteristics of your door  including exactly how much force is required at any one point.  This allows the Autoglide to react more quickly if the door touches an obstacle.

If you do not have rear access to your garage you will need a special Autoglide Emergency Release Kit.

Please note that the latest model has a red label on the motor and key fob remote control.

Important Information

1. Whilst the unit will open most canopy doors only certain door makes and models have been tested and approved under the Machinery Directive legislation so please check carefully that it is suitable for your door - see below.

Cardale CD45 -  no adapter kit needed
Garador MkIII 'C' - needs adapter kit
Henderson Premier (cable latch) - needs adapter kit
Henderson Premier (solid bar) - needs adapter kit
Henderson Pre-Premier (after 1987) - needs adapter kit

If there is no label on your door email photos of the front and back of your door and we can tell you if it suitable.

2. The unit mounts on the right-hand side (facing the rear of your door) of your garage door frame.
i. Timber frame: The width of the rear face of the timber must be a minimum of 65mm wide; it must be in good condition and securely fixed to the wall, 
ii. Steel frame: There are two frame widths available 50mm and 65mm wide.  The narrower frame can only accommodate an Autoglide system if the frame has 15mm of clear space next to it - they are often fitted hard up to the brick opening and in this scenario there is not enough clearance to fit the unit.  Steel frame have holes pre-drilled for super quick fitting. 

3. Lastly, the vertical track screwed to the timber upright of the door frame must be mounted on the rear face, NOT inside face. 

If you have one of the doors listed above and can answer 'yes' to items 2 & 3... you're good to go.
