Who makes Hörmann doors in North America

• A German family company. The Hörmann Group is based in Steinhagen, Germany, is run by the fourth generation of the Hörmann family, and makes doors, frames and operators in 40 factories in Europe, North America and Asia.
• In North America since 2006. Hörmann entered the market by buying a residential and commercial sectional door maker in Montgomery, Illinois. Its North American plants are in Montgomery, Illinois; Burgettstown and Imperial, Pennsylvania; Puyallup, Washington; and Oro-Medonte, Ontario.
• Sparta, Tennessee. Hörmann built its 325,000 sq ft North American headquarters there in 2020, with 300,000 sq ft of manufacturing space.
• “German Engineered, American Made.” Hörmann says its door and operator components are developed and made by Hörmann.

Hörmann sorts its US residential doors into three collections by style: Traditional raised panel steel doors, Carriage House Style doors in steel, aluminum and real wood, and Contemporary smooth steel and full view glass doors. Within each, Hörmann rates its models as value, better or best. We install every model in every collection.

Hörmann does not ship every model everywhere. It currently lists the Modern Classic 7500 and Luma Classic 7400 full view doors for the Western US and Western Canada only, so the full view door Hörmann offers on the East Coast is the Classic Safe 7200. We confirm availability for your address when we quote.

Hörmann’s best insulated residential doors are the Clima Tech 4400 (traditional) and Clima Elite 5800 (carriage house), both with polyurethane insulation rated R 15.7. Its polystyrene insulated steel doors are rated R 9.0 to R 10.5, the Pro Safe 2100 and Pro Tech 2500 pan doors reach R 7.4 with their optional insulation, and the full view aluminum doors depend on the glass chosen.

From Hörmann’s product data sheets for each model and its Heritage Classic brochure (hormann.us), checked November 2026. Where Hörmann’s pages and older brochures give a different figure (for example R 9.0 for the Therma Safe 3200), we show the product data sheet.

Insulation: polystyrene or polyurethane

• Pan doors with optional insulation (Pro Safe 2100, Pro Tech 2500) are a single steel skin; polystyrene backing brings them to R 7.4. A good fit for a detached garage or a tight budget.
• Polystyrene sandwich doors (Therma Tech 3400, Therma Safe 3200, the 5200, 5250 and 5500 carriage doors, Modern Tech 3550) have steel on both sides of a polystyrene core, rated R 9.0 to R 10.5.
• Polyurethane doors (Clima Tech 4400, Clima Elite 5800) are rated R 15.7. Choose one if the garage is attached, has rooms above it, or is heated.

Style: match the house

• Colonial, ranch and other traditional homes: the Traditional collection, with short or long raised, country, cottage, medley and, on some models, shaker panels.
• Carriage house look: steel Style Safe 5200, Therma Style 5500 or Clima Elite 5800 for low maintenance; Deco Safe 5250 for recessed panels; Infinity Classic 7800 for a woodgrain look in aluminum; Heritage Classic or Builder Collection for real wood.
• Modern homes: Modern Tech 3550 smooth steel in Black Satin, Dark Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Graphite or White, or the Classic Safe 7200 full view door in anodized aluminum and glass.

Safety, color and glass

• Pinch resistant joints: the “Safe” models (2100, 3200, 5200, 5250, 7200) have Hörmann’s FingerGuard section joints and hinges, shaped so fingers cannot be caught between the sections inside or outside.
• Colors: standard White, Brown, Almond, Sandstone and Desert Tan on most traditional doors, Timberlast woodgrain finishes on several, and Hörmann’s Galaxy Paint factory custom colors on models such as the 4400, 3200, 5200, 5250 and 7200. Most carriage steel doors come in white and can be field painted.
• Dark paint: Hörmann warns that insulated doors painted a dark color can bow in strong sun. Field painting with a color below 15 LRV needs Class II reinforcement, or the warranty is void.
• Glass: clear, privacy, grey, bronze, obscure, glue chip, satin etch and Mistlite on most models, insulated or not; white and black laminate on some aluminum models.

Adding a Hörmann SilentDrive opener

Hörmann’s own openers, the SilentDrive 7560 and 8560, have a DC motor and an aramid fiber reinforced belt that tensions itself, soft start and stop, 60 LED lights, and EngageLock, a mechanical lock in the rail that holds the closed door against forced opening even in a power outage.

From Hörmann’s residential, model and SilentDrive pages and the SilentDrive brochure (hormann.us), checked November 2026. Product image: Hörmann (hormann.us).

Hörmann requires the top of the door to be reinforced across its full width before an opener is installed, and says an opener not installed by a professional garage door company voids the door warranty. Tell us when you add an opener to a Hörmann door, and see our garage door openers. Not sure which door fits?

For businesses, Hörmann makes commercial sectional doors in steel pan, polystyrene sandwich, polyurethane and full view aluminum, high speed rigid, fabric and rubber doors, impact traffic doors, and dock levelers, shelters and seals. We install and service them for warehouses, shops, dealerships and other buildings in Central Maryland.

Commercial sectional doors

Hörmann gives a limited lifetime warranty on the sections of its residential steel and aluminum doors, with 1 to 8 years on hardware and 1 or 3 years on springs depending on the model. Heritage wood doors have a 1 year door warranty. Commercial doors have 10 years on sections and 1 year on hardware and springs. Hörmann repairs or replaces failed parts; it does not pay for removal or installation.

What Hörmann’s warranty covers and excludes

• Steel door sections are covered against warping, splitting, cracking or rusting through caused by defective materials or workmanship. Within 1.25 miles of salt air, paint color change and chalking are covered for 1 year only.
• Timberlast woodgrain finishes: 5 years against color change and chalking. Galaxy Paint custom colors: 1 year on the paint film.
• Aluminum doors (7200, 7400, 7500): the section warranty excludes the glazing and aluminum sheet or panels. The Infinity Classic 7800 has its own schedule: full replacement of finished sections for 5 years, then discounts on replacement sections.
• Clima Elite 5800 overlays: 5 years against rot or delamination, prorated after the first year.
• The Therma Safe 3200 with Hörmann’s Extreme Package option gets an unlimited lifetime warranty on torsion springs and hardware. Extension springs are not covered by the lifetime warranty.
• Wood doors must be finished as Hörmann’s wood door finishing requirements say, and must not get wet before painting.
• Not covered: removal and installation labor, commercial use of a residential door, improper installation, lack of maintenance, normal wear, and damage from weather, accidents or an opener.

Openers and commercial doors

• SilentDrive openers: lifetime on the motor, rail and belt for as long as the first owner owns the home; 2 years on other parts and remote controls (batteries and bulbs excluded).
• Commercial sectional doors (224P to 450U, 720A, 750A): 10 years on sections, 1 year on hardware and springs.

To make a claim, Hörmann asks for proof of the date and place of purchase and a written claim on its Quality Improvement Form within 90 days of finding the defect.

From Hörmann’s Sectional Warranties document (July 2026, hormann.us), checked November 2026.

Hörmann says periodic cleaning and inspection are required to keep its warranty, and recommends having the door inspected and serviced once a year by an authorized Hörmann dealer. Between visits, wash the door, look it over, lubricate the moving parts about every 6 months, and test the balance and the opener’s safety reversal.

1. Wash the door with mild soap, water and a soft sponge or chamois. Do not use a pressure washer: Hörmann says it can strip paint, force water behind seals and dent steel. Touch up chips or bare metal, which Hörmann counts as part of proper maintenance.
2. Look it over for bent track, frayed lift cables, rust on hardware, loose hinges or fasteners, and hard or damaged weather seals.
3. Lubricate every 6 months on a door used daily: hinges, roller bearings, springs, locks and arm bars, with a silicone or white lithium garage door lubricant. Not regular WD-40, household oil or thick grease, and never the tracks.
4. Test the balance: with the door closed, pull the opener release and lift the door by hand to about halfway. If it falls, rises or feels very heavy, the springs need a technician.
5. Test the opener: the automatic reverse as the opener manual describes, and clean photo eyes that line up. Every 6 months also check the wall control, remotes, keypad and backup battery.

When to call us

• A broken spring, or a door that will not stay open or closed. See garage door spring repair.
• Frayed or loose lift cables, or a door that hangs crooked, shakes or is off its track
• Grinding or scraping that continues after lubrication
• An opener that strains, hums or will not lift the door
• A door struck by a vehicle
