Description
The B&D Tilt-A-Dor Adjustable Track Fittings – S100 2450 are a complete track fitting system designed for single-panel tilt garage doors measuring from 1800mm to 2450mm high and weighing between 30kg and 100kg.
Featuring a single counterbalance spring on each side of the door, horizontal track operation and adjustable-length power arms, the S100 2450 system provides a versatile solution for constructing, replacing or refurbishing compatible tilt garage doors.
The adjustable power arm design allows the fitting system to accommodate a broad range of door heights within a single fitting configuration, making it particularly useful for custom-built tilt doors.
🚪 Designed for Single-Panel Tilt Garage Doors
The B&D S100 2450 Track Fittings are designed for one-piece tilt garage doors that open by pivoting outward and upward before travelling back into horizontal tracks.
Unlike sectional garage doors, the complete tilt door remains as a single panel throughout operation.
The track fitting system supports and guides the door during movement while the spring counterbalance system helps offset the weight of the door.
📏 Suits Door Heights from 1800mm to 2450mm
One of the key advantages of the S100 2450 fitting system is its broad door height range.
The fittings are suitable for compatible tilt doors measuring:
- Minimum Door Height: 1800mm
- Maximum Door Height: 2450mm
This allows the same fitting system to be configured for a wide range of standard and custom tilt garage door sizes.
⚖️ Suits Door Weights from 30kg to 100kg
The S100 2450 configuration is suitable for tilt door panels weighing between 30kg and 100kg.
The appropriate spring configuration is selected according to the actual finished weight of the door.
B&D’s fitting selection divides this range into:
- 30kg to 70kg – 70-T configuration
- 71kg to 100kg – 100-T configuration
Correct door weight is important when selecting and setting up the fittings to ensure the door is properly counterbalanced.
🔩 Single Spring Per Side
The S100 2450 fitting system uses a single counterbalance spring on each side of the tilt door.
This provides two springs across the complete door assembly:
- 1 x spring on the left-hand side
- 1 x spring on the right-hand side
The springs work with the power arms to counterbalance the weight of the door and reduce the effort required to open and close it.
B&D specifies its single-spring arrangement for the 70-T and 100-T fitting configurations.
📐 Adjustable Length Power Arms
The S100 2450 incorporates adjustable-length power arms, allowing the fitting geometry to be configured according to the height of the individual door.
This provides greater flexibility than a fixed-length fitting system and allows the S100 2450 to accommodate door heights ranging from 1800mm through to 2450mm.
Correct adjustment of the power arms is important to achieve the required door travel, balance and open position.
🛤️ Horizontal Track Operation
As a track-type tilt fitting, the S100 2450 uses horizontal tracks to support and guide the door when it reaches the open position.
The tracks provide additional stability and allow the door to travel back into the garage rather than relying solely on the pivoting action of the power arms.
B&D describes its track fittings as particularly suitable where greater stability is required, with the horizontal tracks supporting the door in its open position and helping minimise how far the door protrudes outside the opening.
🏗️ Ideal for Custom Tilt Garage Doors
The adjustable nature of the S100 2450 makes it particularly suitable for custom-built tilt garage doors.
A suitable door panel can be fabricated and fitted with the B&D track hardware to create a complete one-piece overhead garage door system.
This makes the fittings suitable for applications such as:
- Steel-framed tilt doors
- Timber-clad tilt doors
- Aluminium-clad tilt doors
- Architectural garage doors
- Custom garage door panels
- Replacement tilt doors
- Existing Tilt-A-Dor refurbishments
The finished weight of the complete door panel, including its frame, cladding and hardware, must remain within the appropriate fitting capacity.
🔄 Suitable for New Doors & Replacement Fittings
The B&D S100 2450 Adjustable Track Fittings can be used when constructing a compatible new tilt garage door or when replacing the fittings on an existing door.
They are particularly useful for:
- New custom tilt door installations
- Replacement of worn tilt door fittings
- Refurbishment of existing B&D Tilt-A-Dor systems
- Replacement of damaged power arms
- Replacement of worn track components
- Rebuilding existing tilt garage doors
- Converting a suitable custom door panel to track-type operation
⚙️ Smooth Counterbalanced Operation
The spring and power arm system is designed to counterbalance the weight of the door throughout its opening and closing movement.
When correctly installed and adjusted, the door should move smoothly without excessive effort and remain properly controlled throughout its travel.
Correct counterbalancing is particularly important if the tilt door is going to be fitted with an automatic garage door opener.
🔌 Suitable for Automation
A correctly installed and balanced S100 2450 tilt door can be automated using an appropriate automatic garage door opener.
Before an opener is installed, the door should operate smoothly and correctly by hand.
B&D’s installation information specifies different minimum headroom requirements for manual and automated track-fitting installations, so the available installation clearances should be checked when designing the complete door system.
🔧 Professional Installation Recommended
Tilt door springs are under considerable tension and the complete door panel can weigh up to 100kg with this fitting configuration.
Correct installation requires the tracks, power arms, pivot points and springs to be correctly positioned and adjusted according to the size and weight of the finished door.
For this reason, installation and spring adjustment should be carried out by an experienced garage door installer.
