Product: Cardale Autoglide MkIII - Gearset replacement

Back to comparison page : Installed example

Product summary:

Customers who have purchased a Cardale Autoglide electric door opener in the past are in trouble!!! The manufacturer went bust in 2010 and, whilst the brand was purchased by another company, the Autoglide product has been discontinued - worse still no spare parts are available either.

Our solution is to offer replacement mechanics for the canopy door itself - these can either be used to convert the door into a manual door or be used in conjunction with a normal electric opener (for example a Hormann Promatic) to automate it. This is a Cardale product called a Maximiser retractable gearset.

The advantage of this kit over others available on the market are:
    1. Smooth door movement (others have jerky movement
         which does not lend itself to automation and can be
         tricky to set up)
    2. Drive through width is not compromised
        - on a 7' high door clear timber to timber width is
          available up to 1200mm
        - on a 6'6" high door clear timber to timber width is
          available up to 1040mm

Things to note:
    1. This kit must be fitted to a timber frame minimum 70mm wide - it cannot be fitted to a steel frame
    2. The door will swing outwards a little further
    3. The door will run backwards in to the garage a little further and fixed tracks will be in place

Key info that we need when you order:
    1. The width and height of the door
    2. The approx weight of the door (we can usually work this out - call)
    3. Ideally email us a digital photo of the back of the door
