The garage door is the entrance and exit of the garage and the passage for vehicles to enter and exit. With the rapid development of social economy, people\’s living standards continue to improve, and the number of private cars is also increasing. However, the parking problem is becoming increasingly prominent: due to limited parking spaces in residential areas, shopping malls, office buildings and other places, many car owners have to park their cars on the roadside or in underground parking lots; and the parking spaces in underground parking lots are very tight, so many people will park their cars Park in your own or a friend\’s garage.

There are two main types of garage doors on the market: one is a sliding garage door (also known as a roller shutter door); the other is a flip-type garage door (also known as a floor spring). The structures of these two types of garage doors are basically the same: the motor drives the rolling shutter shaft to rotate and drives the gear and rack to engage to complete the opening and closing action.

So how do we choose a parking space that suits us? The following is a brief introduction to the differences between these two types and their respective advantages and disadvantages.

1. Translation type

Remote control operation; in addition, it has good sealing and is not easily affected by wind and sand and causes damage, etc. These advantages are advantages that other types of garage doors do not have!

2. Disadvantages

Since this type of door opening is driven by a motor, it is more expensive and more troublesome to maintain~

II , Flip type

1. Advantages

Compared with the translation type, the price of the flip type is relatively higher ~ and its sealing performance is also better! In addition, this type of door opening method only needs to be opened and closed manually! It is very convenient and practical~ Of course it also has the advantages of wind and sand protection~ But relatively speaking it is not as good as the translation type~

2. Disadvantages
