Traditionally, metal swing gates are the most common in the construction of a garage. This is a product of two leaves, which are attached to the support posts of the doorway with the help of hinges. The hinges can be made from bearings or hinges can be used, consisting of two bushings connected by an axle. One end of the axle is pressed in, while the other end rotates freely on the other hub. The material from which metal gates are made can be the most diverse: profiled sheet, sandwich panels, corrugated board. Increasingly, wrought iron gates began to meet.

Although they are the easiest to manufacture and install, they have some disadvantages:

- snow cover, even a slight one, can prevent the gate from opening.
Metal garage doors are mainly made with double doors, but they can also be made with single doors. In the second case, the leaf may sag due to the occurrence of a torque. Due to the snow cover in winter, it is advisable to install them 100 mm above ground level for free opening. A gate can be built into the panel. The basis of the design is a metal frame, sewn up with a sheet.
Dimensions of garage doors are selected for constructive reasons, based on the conditions of comfortable car entry. They are made slightly less than the height of the front wall of the building. Metal gates that are too high or low will look disproportionate and not look very nice from an aesthetic point of view.
The width of the gate, on the contrary, should be maximum in order to avoid inconvenience at the entrance and not accidentally damage the car. If the garage is not too wide, then the opening is selected from the size of the car, about a meter wider.
You can purchase both ready-made, with good performance, reliable and durable products, and make metal gates to order. The price depends on the size, design features, quality of the lock, the presence of a gate, heat and sound insulation and other parameters. Approximately it starts from 12,500 rubles.
