Teckentrup garage doors
Teckentrup is a German maker that supplies insulated sectional garage doors to the UK through independent installers. It also has a larger industrial and fire door business. It competes on price with Hörmann, so an insulated sectional door in the UK typically costs £2,200–£3,300 including VAT for the 2290mm × 2250mm opening.
Teckentrup is a trade mark of its owner. We use the name only to identify and compare products. This is an independent guide, and we are not a Teckentrup dealer or installer.
Teckentrup is a German maker with a large industrial, fire and trade door business beside its home sectional range. It is a less familiar name than Hörmann or Garador. Even so, several UK installers use it as a fairly priced sectional option, because it competes on price.
We do not sell Teckentrup doors. Ask each installer for a written quote that names the exact range.
Ranges
Insulated sectional range
£2,200–£3,300 inc. VATAn industrial-door maker in the home market
The maker's main business is industrial, fire and trade doors. Its home sectional range comes from that same background. In the UK, installers usually offer it as a mid-to-premium choice next to Hörmann.
It is a less familiar name to homeowners than Hörmann or Garador. However, several UK installers use it because its sectional doors offer good value for the price.
How it compares with other sectional brands
This sectional door works the same way as other brands. The panels travel up and lie flat against the garage ceiling on a track. This basic design is common to nearly every sectional door on the UK market.
The real differences are in the details. Ask your installer about panel thickness, colour and finish, and warranty terms. These vary between makers, because each one sets its own standard.
Buying through an installer
The maker does not sell direct to UK homeowners. Independent installers supply, fit and guarantee each door, much as they do for Hörmann or Garador. Because the brand is less well known, ask your installer why they pick it.
If the installer adds an electric operator, the whole system must still meet UK rules. Like any electric garage door, it must meet BS EN 12453 for force limits and safe reversal. This holds whichever brand supplies the operator.
