COUNTERWEIGHT
GARAGE DOORS
Counterweight garage doors are designed for openings that are too large, too heavy or too unusual for a standard spring door. Instead of springs, a counterweight balances the door, so even very wide or heavily clad doors open smoothly and reliably. Dandenong Garage Doors supplies and installs counterweight doors, including the Renlita range, for homes, heritage properties and commercial buildings across Melbourne.

How a counterweight door works
A counterweight door is balanced by weights that travel up and down inside the side frame (or a separate housing) as the door moves. Because the weights match the weight of the door, the door feels almost weightless to operate and puts very little strain on the motor. That's why counterweight systems suit:
wide or tall openings beyond the size of standard doors
heavy cladding such as timber, stone-look or composite panels
architectural designs where the door needs to sit flush with the facade
high-use doors that open and close many times a day.
Counterweight vs spring doors
Spring doors suit most standard garages and are usually more affordable. Counterweight doors cost more but handle much heavier and larger doors, and the counterweight system has fewer high-tension parts to wear out. If your design calls for heavy cladding or a very large opening, a counterweight door is often the only practical choice.
