Handles & Emergency Release options on Hormann Sectional Garage Doors

If your garage does not have a second entrance, you can optionally open your automatic garage door from the outside with a beautifully designed handle or an understated emergency release lock.

Available door handles

Hörmann door handles are set apart by a contemporary, modern shape. Here, the selection of material is not just a question of personal taste. For example, stainless steel handles are particularly robust and have a tough surface finish.
The lock can be integrated in the home locking system. Manually operated doors with a handle are locked and break-in-resistant with a latch lock. In this lock, a sturdy, automatic latching disc engages around a massive bolt on the side frame.

Emergency release

If you do not want a handle on your automatic sectional door, we recommend using an emergency release lock . An inconspicuous round cylinder (cannot be integrated in the home locking system) releases your garage door and you can easily open it in the case of an emergency.
You can also use a lever handle as an emergency release in automatic sectional doors. The door is then unlocked via a Bowden cable on the inside.

Window options

Depending on the door type, you can select from various types of glazings with clear or textured single or double-panes. Clear synthetic
glazing from Hörmann comes as standard with DURATEC glazing.

It offers:

• Maximum scratch resistance
• A permanently clear view
• Improved thermal insulation

Wicket door options

A door in the door lets you easily access whatever you have in your garage, such as gardening tools, bikes or wheelbarrows. Only Hörmann offers a wicket door with a stainless steel threshold that is only 10 mm in the centre and 5 mm high at the sides. This reduces the risk of tripping up and makes it easier to wheel things through. The aluminium door frame is anodised as standard in a natural finish and is also available in the door colour. The top garage door section, also in the wicket door area, comes with a continuous lintel seal.
