A device for a closure drive assembly can include: a moveable trolley, the trolley configured for movement along a track or a rail under drive by a drive component to move a closure between an open position and a closed position, the trolley including a body having a guiding surface; a rotating body having one or more camming surfaces, rotation of the rotating body about a rotation axis being supported by the guiding surface; and a lever having a lever camming surface configured to engage with one or more of the camming surfaces of the rotating body, wherein the lever is associated with an engagement member such that rotation of the lever moves the lever camming surface along the one or more rotating body camming surfaces to displace the engagement member, and wherein the engagement member is arranged to provide selective engagement between the moveable trolley and the drive component.

A storage lock for a storage door, the lock comprising a lock housing for mounting to the storage door or a storage frame supporting the door; and a lock mechanism arranged within the lock housing, the lock mechanism comprising a latch selectively operable between a locked position in which the latch is extended to engage with the other of the storage door and storage frame to block against opening of the storage door, and an unlocked position in which the latch is retracted to disengage from the other of the storage door and storage frame to allow the storage door to be opened for access to storage, and a latch control system selectively operable between a restricted position to block against operation of the latch out from the locked position, and an unrestricted position to permit operation of the latch out from the locked position to the unlocked position.

A method of arranging an overhead sectional door (SD) in a doorframe (10; 20) that defines a door opening, the overhead sectional door (SD) comprising a plurality of door panel sections (100; 200; 300; 400; 500). The method disclosed herein involves: a) fitting a first door panel section (100) in the doorframe (10; 20), b) fitting a second door panel section (200) in the doorframe (10; 20), and c) actuating an electric motor (M) to cause the first door panel section (100) to push the section door panel section (200) a distance in an upward direction. The method further involves: d) securing the second door panel section (200) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20), e) causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a distance in a downward direction, thereby leaving a space (60) between the secured door panel section and the first door panel section (100), f) fitting a next door panel section (300; 400; 500) in the space (60), and g) causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a distance in an upward direction. Further, the method involves: h) unsecuring the secured door panel section (200; 300; 400; 500) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20), causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a further distance in an upward direction, engaging the top edge of the next door panel section (300; 400; 500) with the bottom edge of the previously secured door panel section (200; 300; 400; 500), and securing the next door panel section (300; 400; 500) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20). The method also involves repeating steps e) to h) for each next door panel section (300; 400; 500) until at least all but a last door panel section of the overhead sectional door (SD) have been arranged.

A door having a door body that can be lifted, along a predetermined path, from a closed position in which it closes a wall opening into an open position in which it is located substantially overhead, the door body having two, three or more door body elements arranged one on top of the other in the closed position, is modified according to the invention in that a lower edge of the door body in the closed position and trailing during the lifting can be lifted separately, when the door reaches the open position, by a pivoting movement of a lower door body element having said edge in a lifting direction with respect to a door body element situated above it in the closed position relative to the predetermined path.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic door drive for a lifting door (1) that opens, in particular, vertically, comprising at least one hydraulic motor (6), adapted and configured to drive a door curtain (2) or to be at least concomitantly driven by the door curtain (2), at least one hydraulic unit (10) for supplying the hydraulic door drive (5) with pressurized hydraulic fluid (13; 13a), characterized by a pressure accumulator (22), wherein a) potential energy of the door curtain (2), which is released when the latter is closed, can be stored in the form of pressure energy in the pressure accumulator (22), and/or b) the pressure accumulator (22) can be loaded with pressure energy by means of the at least one hydraulic unit (10), wherein c) pressure energy stored in the pressure accumulator (22) can be discharged to the hydraulic motor (6) in order to at least open and/or at least close the door curtain (2).

A device for a track- or rail-mounted closure drive assembly can include a lever and cam arrangement configured to drive an engagement member between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the engaged position allowing motor drive of a closure and the disengaged position disconnecting the drive from the motor to the closure; and a rotating body including one or more camming surfaces and one or more peripheral surfaces, the peripheral surfaces including visual indicia to indicate to a user an orientation of the one or more camming surfaces and hence whether the engagement member is in the engaged position or the disengaged position.
