Microgroove garage door from Wayne Dalton. J U N E 2 0 2 3 | 41 Doors & Hardware The new Microgroove garage door from Wayne Dalton creates a striking light effect and has a smaller profile and is available in woodgrain and metallic fin- ishes – ideal for homeowners looking to match their garage door to their front door. For commercial proj- ects, Creative Door has just launched a new direct drive operator from Manaras, which is high-cycle and spring- less and perfect for openings that require an air-tight closure (like car washes) as well as standard openings. The company's new AV 521 full view overhead door from Wayne Dalton is a sectional aluminum door that works well to maximize light penetration, bringing the light into a space. With a direct drive operator, this door is great for car dealerships, res- taurants, and retail spaces alike. Steel-Craft Door Products Ltd. is another cutting- edge Canadian overhead garage door manufacturer, committed to high-quality materials (100-percent Canadian steel) and state-of-the-art manufactur- ing processes. With high-end tooling and a patented Weatherlock system at the company's disposal, it's able to execute on a variety of styles – from residen- tial to commercial applications – that can easily handle Canadian weather. Steel-Craft's Climacore polyurethane insulation has best-in-class R-value, adding better strength and consistent protection from the elements. Steel-Craft can ensure the highest performance of their doors, while adding style and distinction to every home and commercial building. SMART STUFF Opening a door with a key? That's old-school now. "Many of our customers are drawn to SMART operator features with integration to a homeowner's mobile phone and other smart devices like Google, Alexa, and Amazon Echo so that they can control multi-functional components, including lights and being able to open and close their garage door from their mobile device and even when they're not home," says Winterfield. Beyond access control for commercial applica- tions, smart features for multi-family door entry and overhead doors are trending, too, including use with mobile apps. "Automatic door operation continues to trend across many verticals, including multi-family, airports, community, commer- cial offices, to educational and more," says Elise Mayberry, national marketing manager for Allmar. HydAway is one company offering products that integrate with smart tools. These designs have no handles or hardware, with hydraulics that can be operated via smartphone app. "People want ease of operation and the door itself to be a conversation piece," says Gustad.
