The unique gliding motor keeps moving parts to a minimum, reducing noise and making the system maintenance-free 

An in-built safety sensor detects any obstruction to the door movement, stopping the door and reversing if on the closing cycle

An in-built light automatically switches on as the door opens and switches off after 3 minutes. The Marathon memorises the time taken to open and close the door and then ensures
a softer start and stop to the movement (so there's less door slam)

The door can be set to auto close after a period of between
10 and 240 seconds - particularly useful for communal garages or the forgetful!

A wall mounted push button is provided to site up to 7m
 away from the unit as another means of opening the door.
In addition, every Marathon has a simple switch to allow manual operation from inside the garage.

Two stylish handtransmitters are supplied, each with four buttons (so they can operate more doors, gates or security lights) and featuring a 'rolling code' security system with 74 trillion available codes

An in-built toroidal transformer ensures extremely low running costs - only around £2.50 per year if the door is opened and closed twice dailyer ensures extremely low running costs - only around £2.50 per year if the door is opened and closed twice daily
