Need help identifying your Garador latches and cams?Updated 10 months ago

Having trouble identifying the correct replacement part for your Garador door? 

Below we will go through some of the different cams, latches and receivers, providing links to each replacement where possible, and links to compatible replacements when required.

Does the cam on the back of your door look like this?

The white cam is still available, but is now manufactured in black; Garador Handle Repair Kit. 

Alternatively, your Garador Handle may have this Rear Lock Cam on it. 

If you have an early Garador model, you might have this cam below, which is unfortunately obsolete. Please contact us for advise on how to repair your door.

Do you have a spring box above the door, housing 2 springs? This is a MK3C door model. 

If you have just 1 locking cable, going centrally upwards, you will need the Garador Mk3c Latch Bracket below, which fits into the central slot on the underside of the spring box. 

If your MK3C door has 2 locking cables, both going upwards diagonally, then you will require 2 of the brackets.

If some instances, if there was not much room above the garage door, the springbox will be installed on its side. These doors require the Garador Mk3c Alternative Latch Bracket. 

Does this Canopy Latch Kit look familiar?

Unfortunately this locking assembly is obsolete. Please contact us for advice on how to modify the door. 

Garador’s current canopy C-type door has been manufactured since 2002 and is sometimes referred to as a CG, CF or G3 type door. The spring is a single torsion spring running across the door frame above the door. On either end there is a cast metal drum around which the support cables run. This door, in its default configuration, has 2 latches and receivers which go up diagonally from the handle, left and right.
