Hörmann sectional door end position catch

The end position catch is a small black plastic part in the guide track. When you open the door fully by hand, the catch holds it in the top position. This stops the door from starting to come down by itself. If the catch is missing or broken, the open door can come down on its own.

Which doors

• Hörmann series 40 sectional doors operated manually.
• Doors with an operator – do not need the catch, as the operator holds the door in position. If you plan to automate the door, see garage door operators.

Things to consider

• Inspection – if the open door still comes down despite a new catch, have the door checked by a professional.
• Tracks – when replacing, also check the guide track curve and its fixing.

You will find more parts in the Garage door spare parts category. We will adjust the door in the Košice and Prešov regions; see the Service page. Please send questions to eshop@saver.sk.
