Garage doors constantly carry high loads. Because of its weight and wind gusts, they are subjected to sending and bending. If the gate frame is deformed, close the garage will not work. In this case, many motorists are wondering how to raise the gate in the garage. In addition, it may be necessary to perform this procedure in case of changing the car.

Raising the garage gate may be required in the following cases:

• the foundation base closed together with the wall, therefore, the possibility of opening sash disappeared, since their bottom joins the breakfast;
• there was a deformation of the carrier loops or they were substantial wear, the sash leaned;
• the magnitude of the outlook of the garage door does not allow parking a car with a large clearance or high cockpit planting (Gazelle, UAZ-Patriot).

Methods of lifting the gate

There are different methods for lifting the gate of the brick garage. It should be noted that when using certain methods, you may need to remove the door with the loops.

Repair washers

If the carrier flaps are deformed due to the savings of the pair of loops, you need to follow such recommendations:

1. To raise the lowered sash, you need to install the adjustment washers. Thickness is chosen when accounting for depths to which loops savages.
2. To mount the washers, it is necessary to remove the sash with the loops, put the puck, return the sash to the place.
3. If it is not possible to use a suitable size washer, you can install an additional ball in the loop.

Reducing the jumper (raising frame)

One of the most difficult methods. The heavy construction of steel is fixed with concrete, therefore, before it is raised, you need to dismantle the carrier flaps. If the foundation foundation causing, it is required to remove 1-2 bricks from the masonry (depends on the height of the raising). By means of a perforator or a special hammer with a chisel, it is necessary to remove concrete from under the side of the side of the racks and the beams of the threshold.

With the help of scrap, loosened under the central part of the frame, it rises to a small height. Wedge is inserted, then the procedure is repeated for the frames of the frame. Side wedges are driven from the opposite side of the threshold beam. After the gap between the frame and the earth increases to five to six centimeters, you need to use a rod jack capable of raising weight up to five tons. Through the jack, the frame is further raised.

Similarly, lifting the frame located on top. After part of the brick masonry is knocked out, a cut of vertically placed racks and the top of the frame is performed. The cut is carried out above the location of the loops.

The mass of the cut part of the frame does not exceed seventy kilograms. It can be lifted by a standard jack, which is installed on the threshold. The intermediate top of the plank and the jack is installed log / timber. After that, raising the required level.

Change threshold

When using this method, you will not need to dismantle the gate. It is not recommended to use this method if the bottom frame is located almost at the ground level. It will take to mount the horizontally placed struts (for temporary fixation of the frame). Power flaps open, after which the bottom frame is cleaned.

After that, knocking out part of the threshold. Then the bottom frame, by means of welding, returns to its place, the struts are pulled out. Next, it is necessary to pour the threshold with a cement solution.

Cut the cloth

If the sash began to touch the earth's surface, and the gate is difficult to open, you can cut the bottom through the grinder. To eliminate the slit, which will appear after trimming, can be fixed at the bottom of the rubber seal or a piece of hose.

Restoration of deformed opening

If the opening of the garage is made correctly, the side twisting of the sash can manifest. The main cause of deformation is the skeleton beam located above. It will take to find the voltage point in this beam.

If you attack the beam along the entire length, you can find the voltage point. In it, the material beams begins to fluctuate. Cut this place with a grinder, by means of a welding machine, place the tire of stiffness.

Increase the garage gate project

This method is infrequent, as it is very laborious.

In height

First, dismantling is located at the top of the gate beam. Raise the plate is carried out by several jacks installed in its edges. On and under the jacks need to install the platforms so that they stood stably on the floor. The top platform is made of a metal beam that serves as focusing.

The slab must be raised slowly (each edge is ten centimeters at a time). In the emerging clearance, you need to install two bricks or a metal corner.

Each slab in turn is raised to the required level. After that, under the raised roof the brick laying is made.

In width

To increase the width of the opening, you will need to mount a horizontally located beam from 2 corners (the width of the shelf is seventy-five millimeters). It is required to create marking on the front wall above the opening.

Through the perforator in the wall surface, an opening of eight millimeters wide and the depth of the equal width of the shelf is created. The opening is performed from the inside of the wall. From the corner, 3 parts are cut off (along the size of the dimension), drilled in the created hole and the letter "P".

Similarly, work is made from the outside of the wall surface. To prevent the deformation of the formed frame, it is necessary to increase the strength indicators and rigidity, welding jumpers (transversely).

It is worth noting that the need to raise the garage gate can have several reasons. For example, the need to raise the garage gate may be required in a situation where the design of the garage gate is not easy to open not only in winter, but even in the summer. What can we talk about the winter period when the opening of the gate prevents the layer of snow and ice? If necessary, you can carry out the structure of the structure itself. At the same time, the entrance is concreted. This ensures a natural bias. But at the same time the above-described method of raising the entrance gate reduces the dimensions of the design.

The situation will be discussed below when it is required to save the existing garage level and raise the gate slightly. In this case, everything is carried out in stages. To begin with, experts advise to dismantle the gate and freeing the frame. Then you need to remove several rows of bricks over the garage opening. At the same time, the dumping on the lower plot can also be raised. Next, the design of the garage gate must be returned to its original position.

Before removing the garage doors with the loops, the specialists recommend flushing the solution, which is between the bricks of the very row, to which the gate will rise. A channel must be installed in place of this ripple. An alternative option is to install a reliable and high-strength corner. Performance of this operation is carried out directly until the rise of the garage gate. In addition, this approach will preserve the design from possible destruction. The installation of a chapeller or angle must be carried out by using reliable anchor bolts.

At the same time, you should not forget that raising the garage gates even on a couple of bricks can significantly increase the existing lumen between the gate, as well as the garage floor. In this case, you can use one of several ways to eliminate this problem. The most optimal is concreting. In addition, if necessary, you can install a special thoring. Whatever the option would be chosen, it is worth taking care that the slope is directed from the garage to the street, and not the opposite. Otherwise, it is not to be surprised that water during the rain flows into the garage, causing the appearance of dampness. And the dampness, as well known to any motorist, causes corrosion of a car body. Yes, and the garage itself, dampness also harms. Considering all the above, it can be concluded that it is not so difficult to lift the garage gate as well as it seems at first glance. All stages can be realized independently, that is, with your own hands.

There is a proverb "I passed the oppomat, passed everything." And also, some garage "experts", love to confine that they made a "hard gate". Competent engineers are aware of simple truth - no "hard metal structures", and the shipbuilder engineer, having heard about the conversion, will smile, and will say that "the conversion is a private case of construction mechanics in which the movement is not taken into account." We are to the question, why sometimes it is necessary to raise the garage gate. Now a little more, how to do it.

The main reasons for changing the geometry of the gate, or the loot

Metal fatigue, loop drawdown, natural deformations at the end of the installation, the drawdown of the proof (the frame in which the gate is mounted) for various reasons, some other factors (for example, with hot, cloudless weather. A couple of years ago there were problems of thermal deformations of metal structures).

External causes that do not depend on the material part. Bought a car higher - it does not pass through the dimensions, made a mistake in the lower gap - in the winter the gate is extremely difficult to open, one of the walls of the garage she ascertained more, which caused a skew of the Owl, and others who are sometimes difficult to foresee.

In each of these cases, the decision is made individually, we will look at a few simple ways that are available in the presence of a simple tool with an assistant.

Methods of raising (geometry corrections) gate

1. Sewing loops, (the gate was deformed, or something else). To raise (for example, one sash) you can use a stagnant washer. Remove the sash with the loops, on the axis of the bottom loop we put the puck of the desired thickness, return the sash to the place. Sometimes it is difficult to pick a puck, then in a loop, where the hole is inserting the bowler of the passing diameter. This method allows you to correct small sash swallows, lift the gate slightly, facilitate the movement on the loop. Very important! The material of the washer and the ball must be from the more solid alloy than the loop itself!
2. The need to change the distance from the ground level to the bottom of the sash. The easiest way is to trim the lower part with a grinder, then fasten the rubber strip to eliminate the gap. Applicable if the sheet metal sheet protrudes for the lower beams of the frame. If the gate is mounted so that the lower beam at the ground level - it will be necessary to first cut the beam, then the metal, to tear the beam in place. By the way, in our practice there are structures where the lower part (approximately 10-cm) is mounted on the loops, and when opening the gate, it can be folded.
3. Skotes of sash, due to the deformation of the day. If you do not touch the ability, then the easiest way to determine the skew zone (as a rule, the sash is not closed in the upper, or lower part), on that sash, which does not allow the bow with the horizontal beam, cut a somewhat mm. With effort (perhaps you need a jack), press the vertical beam of the frame - weld. Before the gaps of 7-12 mm, the deformations of the sheet metal will be invisible. We definitely welcome the welding place with an additional metal strip, because residual deformations will arise here! If you do not strengthen this place - the welding seam will simply break with time.
4. The need to increase the height of the goof. The most difficult case that will take time, the ability to lay a brick, an additional snap. How to do it, you can find on the sites of building themes. We will consider the situation when the problem was solved easier.

An example of a simple solution in a difficult situation

So, the new car did not pass on the dimensions of the upper part of the garage. 6-7 cm. In the width of the car itself, 14 cm. Right - on the left, in the places of installation of rails on the roof (by the way, one of the most frequent reasons when you need to raise the gate in height!).

Some garage craftsmen immediately advised the disassembly of the upper part of the proof, (reduce the number of bricks of bricks - a generally accepted approach), rebuild the frame, thus, increasing the height of the proof. In fact, lift the entire top of 14 cm. (2.5 rows of bricks) is very difficult, but it was not required. How was the problem solved.

1. In the floor of the garage (concrete, like the race with a bias of about 2 meters long) came the groove of 2- 2.5 bus width each, 10 cm depth. At the same time, the entry level was lowered to avoid the roof of the roof of the top frame . The bottom of the ruts were shown by corrugated metal, fixed to the floor.
2. On the example of another car (garage cooperatives are good because there is always almost the same car - in this case without rails). Took into account the difference in tire height. Determined the gap between the roof of the car and the upper frame in the maximum unloaded state - 7 cm.
3. On the left and right, in the upper part of the loop, 60 cm. Schawler (the middle part at the same time was tongued by beams just in case). They knocked out a few bricks, and the resulting received P-shaped slotters, which fastened to the brick.
4. Calm check-out checked on the desired car, made sure that everything was done correctly.
5. After that, I had to raise the right sheets a bit, because the gate stopped closeing these holes, which was done at the place, after the sash was already put to the place.

On this work were completed. They took three days, it took the help of a neighbor on the garages, to suffer with the task of how to raise the entire top of the frame (at the same time raising the gate) did not have to.

We hope that when you get a similar problem, this article will help to show a mixture, use simple solutions, and not try to solve the task in the forehead, as you advise experts from the Internet.

The safety of your property depends on the reliability and strength of the garage gate. In addition to the protective function that they do, can also serve as an attractive addition to your home.

What to do if for some reason you can't open the gate? For normal functioning, it is enough to raise them. The question arises, how to raise the gate in the garage? The answer is very simple: it is enough to be guided by some recommendations and everything will turn out.

Construction easily can be made with your own hands. In quality, it will not differ from the one that experts will be installed. At the same time, it is necessary to perform step-by-step recommendations on the installation of the gate and be extremely attentive. In addition, the installation of the garage gate will not take much time.

Consider positive moments, without which the gate will be simply unnecessary.

Good gate - the safety of your property

1. The car should easily drive into the room.

The size of the gate must provide a normal check-in. It all depends on the model of your car. The width of the opening should be such that when stopping the machines in it, the gap remained about 30 cm. The height for the passenger car should be from 1.70 to 2 meters, for a truck - 2.5 meters.

1. The gate must be durable and resistant to hacking.

The gate must protect your property. Protective functions depend on the material from which the design will be made. Metal - the most reliable and durable. A steel galvanized sheet of 2.5 mm wide will perfectly cope with this task. With the help of overhead constipation for external pads and armored linings on the inner castle, you can additionally strengthen the design. Wooden doors are not very reliable, so they can be installed only on guarded parking.

1. The gate must be resistant to external factors.

The more densely the canvas adjacent to the frame, the more reliably the protection. Use vertical constipation to fix the desired door position. Vertical constipation prevent skews of the design, and also securely hold the door. You can use the seal for an even stronger fit of the structure to the frame.

Types of garage doors

There are such types of gates.

Consist of two sash sprinkling inwards or out. Basically, the second preference. For the normal functioning of the design, the presence of space is very important. This is the cheapest type of mechanism.

Open along the fence, from the inside. The main advantage is the lack of need for additional territory ahead of the device.

Includes individual sections that are refracted when opening, and thanks to the special system of springs and profiles, the web leaves up, under the ceiling. This type of gate also saves the territory.

The canvas contains aluminum plates coated with polymer. When opening it turns into a special box above the entrance to the garage.

In this type of device, the vertical lifting of the canvas to the ceiling takes place.

Stages of installation of garage gates

First of all, remove the measure to understand the size of the future gate. As a rule, with their own hands make swing metal garage doors. This kind of simpler and cheap. Retractable gates will be more difficult and more expensive, but it is also possible. You need to take a drawing, buy a ready-made system for assembly. The kit includes installation instructions, with which the installation is made. As a rule, they are installed on dachas, in private households, warehouses.

You can also reduce costs by installing automation yourself. Take the drawing to buy the necessary components and follow the instructions.

You can make a swing gate without buying expensive components. As materials use a profile, sheet metal 1-3 mm, steel corner.

Install the garage doors can be several steps:

Step number 1. Making frame

The frame includes an external and inner frame of a steel corner, the dimensions of which are 65x65 mm. Tools will be required:

• Bulgarian;
• Construction level;
• Corolnic;
• Welding machine;
• Roulette.

Weiently focus on the height and width of the gate in the manufacture of the frame. Squeeze and cut the blanks for the frame from an iron corner with a cross section of 16-20 cm. Strictly in terms of the level form a future frame using lining. Then set the corners with the help of the square. Check that the diagonals of the design are the same, and then weld it.

In order for the canvas tightly adjacent to the surface of the frame, its external side should be smooth. Stick up welding seams. Make a lever from the remnants, which then welds to the corners of the frame, which will be their additional strengthening.

Step number 2 Make a frame

You need to make a frame for two swing flaps. Each of them is attached iron canvas. Use a 60x20 mm profile for the framework of the frame.

Guides insert into the frame, align each side. Between them, make a gap of 20 mm in order for the sash freely moving. Check the straight corners of the frame, then weld the profiles. Your frame is ready.

Step number 3 Sheathing

For welding gates, use a galvanized metal sheet with a thickness of 2-3 mm. It is necessary to cut the desired size, and be sure to impose sash to each other by 10-20 mm. Thus, the right canvas will be over to the left.

Weld up from below and attach it to the frame.

Strengthen the gate is possible by gaining: weld the horizontal iron belt at the altitude of one meter.

Step number 4 Installation

Install the power loop on the garage gate. The bottom must be welded to the garage frame, and the top to the outside. To do this, attach to the top of the loop and the sash curved metal line with a thickness of 0.5-0.7 cm. For a stronger connection, you can use the folding tab from the reinforcement.

To reliably fix the position of the mechanism requires Caps. To do this, you can use the design with a vertical pin. Drill holes in the ceiling and in the floor. Weigle a loop guide frame. For pin, use a pipe with a diameter of 20-25 mm.

You can also use a clamping method for the design of the design.

Step number 5 Painting

Be sure to paint the cloth: it will protect it from the adverse effects of such as precipitation, moisture, damage. Before painting, immerscribe, apply several layers of paint for metal on the surface.

Step number 6 Montage

First of all, install the frame. It should contribute to the free movement of the sash.

Install the gate is easy. At first, the opening of the opening is attached to the outdoor and inner part of the frame using iron pins in a length of 15-18 cm. Obsalize their protruding ends, then stabbing the grinding and fill.

These parts firmly close with metal jumpers with a thickness of 20-40 mm every 60 cm. This is done so that in the near future it is not necessary to make construction. Next, we have a shutter on the loop and check how easy they move.

There are cases when during operation it is necessary to correct the work of the gate, as they function poorly for any reason.

Cases in which you need to raise the garage gate and how to do it

Raising the gate while maintaining the level

The most common case, when, due to the too low arrangement of the gate, open them very hard, and sometimes it is not possible at all. If such a problem arises in the summer, what to say about winter when snow and ice interfere with their normal work. Alternatively, you can cut the gate, and the entrance to the garage is concrete. Due to this, a bias will be created, and the water will flock down. But if you work on this method, the size of the opening is reduced.

In order to raise the garage gate, such materials are needed: channel, brick, water and gate. You can proceed to work.

Stages of work:

1. Remove the doors;
2. Release the frame;
3. Remove several brick rows before opening;
4. Raise the gate;
5. At the bottom, lift the sinking;
6. Put the gate at the initial place.

Before dismantling the gate to the level above 3-4 brick rows, wash the solution with water between bricks. Place its place to place a corner or a channel. This is done before lifting the garage gate so that the building does not destroy. Otherwise, the roof of the garage will be eaten. Schweller or corner securely secure anchor bolts.

Problem in the height of the garage

Sometimes the problem of the normal functioning of the gate may be their height. Its decision will require the experience and knowledge of the construction case. If your garage is brick, you need to remove 1 or 2 rows of laying, then enhance the resulting slope and raise the frame to the desired height.

There are many ways to solve the problem of the bad functioning of the gate. You can choose the optimal problem of solving. At the same time, the most common and easy way to increase the space between the gate and the earth is to cut the bottom of the door sash with the help of a grinder.

Make a garage door with your own hands. From high-quality materials and from accurate step-by-step installation will depend on how long the garage doors will function.

During the construction of the garage, many nuances are taken into account. One of them is the height of the gate, and it is not only about the height of the opening, but also about the height of the flaps above the soil level. The article will consider the reasons for which it is important to correctly calculate this height. In some cases, you have to raise the garage gate in the brick garage higher due to certain circumstances. The article will also describe several ways that can be implemented.

Why raise the gate

When it comes to raising the gate, it concerns the swing structures. There are no such problems for folding structures, since they are capable of automatically change their level. There are several reasons why you have to resort to the lifting of the gate:

• loop wear;
• frame deformation;
• misconception;
• violation of the integrity of the foundation;
• replacing the vehicle.

Old gate designs are performed from sheet metal, which has a thickness of 3 and more millimeter. By itself, this design of the gate is pretty heavy, so it is normal that over time they begin to see. The reason for this can serve as low-quality metal loops. Skatts lose their strength and sash partially leaning forward. This complicates or makes it impossible a normal process of closing the gate.

Another reason for which the gate is required is to wear a metal corner. In most cases, beams with a width of 20 cm are used, but small corners are used for savings, which are started to deform from constant loads. At the same time, the geometry of the frame is disturbed, which lead to problems with the gate. With proper design, the swollen doors never put in shorts with the soil. Even with proper installation, this approach can be a problem in winter. The metal can be deformed under the influence of low temperatures and the sash will not be discovered, since they will chain asphalt.

Another problem that manifests itself at a low level of the gate is precipitation. If a significant amount of snow drops in winter, it is pretty to work hard to clear the space near the gate before entering the garage or leave it. With abundant rains, the water simply will leak into the garage, which can create serious problems, especially if there is an observation pit in the garage or a basement. In some cases, due to the grounding of the soil, there may be a problem with deformation of the bottom of the frame. It also leads to the need to raise the gate. Walls that lead to the drawdown of the gate and the impossibility of opening them can be deformed.

Motion repair gate

In repair, two operations should be distinguished, completely different in terms of labor intensity and difficulty of execution:

1. Raise one or both sash, without dismantling the frame, racks or hulls, on which the garage gate is fixed;
2. Overhaul or replacement of the frame, in this case it is necessary to disassemble the laying and lift or remove the welded frame structure on which the sash is hosted.

Tip! If you do not have the skill of welding, any replacement of the frame or sash better to trust the specialists.

How to raise the gate in the garage do it yourself

The simplest and affordable procedure, in the presence of skill, you can try to lift even a very heavy sash alone. For example, if the wear of the friction surface loops reached its limit, and the garage gate began to cling to the top edge of the scene, it is necessary to insert repair washers. At the same time, pay attention to the correct installation of two thin steel washers from the calene of polished steel. The total thickness of the washers should be such as to increase the height of the garage gate flap over the threshold beam. Each washer has a cutout on the width of the turntable loop and is lubricated only on the one hand.

In this case, there is no need to even raise and remove the garage gate, it is enough just to lift them into a height of several millimeters to insert them into the resulting gap in the hinges on a pair of steel washers. To raise the goal sash, you must turn them over an angle over 90about , then under the bottom cut of the sash, as close as possible to the axis of rotation, install a wooden or steel wedge. Several beats on the wedge will help to raise the gate by 2-3 mm. Next, you can insert a rogue jack, raise the sash to any height and even remove it if necessary. If the loops completely failed, you have to raise and digest.

In the same way, repairs are carried out, if due to the deformation of the loop or the garage gate frame, the sash has occurred. In this case, under the edge of the sash, the jack is installed as far as possible from the axis of rotation, they begin to slowly raise, hailing a sinking place of the loop or frame deformation. If there is a wicket in the design of the sash, it must be fixed with bolts or tie, but not to remove. Most often for 5-6 transitions, it is possible to deny the gate, if not, you need to raise the maximum height, install a jack in a horizontal position with an emphasis on the opposite frame rack and "squeeze the geometry" of the frame to completely align the beams and loops.

Raising garage gate frame

The most difficult and time-consuming operation to repair the garage gate is the rise of the frame. A heavy steel construction is concreted into brick sidewalls, therefore, before lifting the design, the space should be released for lifting and remove the goal sash.

If the frame, together with the sash, it is planned to raise over the soil level due to the sedimentation of the basement of the garage, before lifting the gate, it will be necessary to knock out the top of the masonry on the brick or two, depending on the height of the lift. The perforator or construction hammer and chisel is knocked out cement from under the side racks of the frame and the threshold beam.

An ordinary scrap is pushing the lower part of the frame and lifted on a small height, first in the center, and after installing the first wedge, it is similar to lifting from the left and right edges. If you manage to raise the frame, then the side wedges are clogged. They are put, as a rule, from the opposite side of the threshold beam. After increasing the gap to 5-6 cm, it is necessary to install a rod jack up to 5 tons, and then lift the structure using the hydraulic mechanism.

Similarly raise the upper beam frame. Most often, it is necessary to raise if it is necessary to increase the height of the garage gate without dismantling them. After knocking out the upper rows of bricks, the grinder is cut off from two sides a piece of vertical racks along with the upper horizontal part of the frame. The cuts are performed above the wiring points of the loop.

The weight of the cut part of the frame is not more than 70 kg, so it is easy to raise it by the usual jack installed on the threshold. Between the top plank and the jack insert a log or a bar and carefully raise the desired height. After that, the cut-off pieces of similar material are screwed into the resulting gap in the frame.

Conclusion

Raising a heavy frame is necessary in compliance with safety regulations. Often, when you try to raise the frame, the heavy design is launching and tilted on working, so specialists recommend installing struts and blocking stretch marks from the cable.
