Up-and-over door
communal ET 500
The Hörmann Kipptor ET 500 is the reference up-and-over door for communal garages in Luxembourg. Its counterweight technology ensures wear-free, ultra-quiet operation, designed for over 250,000 cycles. Over 10 infill patterns (perforated sheet, expanded metal, aluminium, wood) for perfect architectural integration in every residence.
Why the communal up-and-over ET 500
The ET 500 communal up-and-over excels on 3 points that the sectional cannot match: architectural customisation through infill patterns, no outward projection when fitted behind the opening and extreme mechanical durability of the counterweight system.
250,000 cycles - wear-free counterweight
The counterweight system eliminates torsion springs. No major mechanical wear parts, designed for at least 250,000 cycles.
10+ architectural infill patterns
Perforated sheet, expanded metal, smooth aluminium, bars, steel louvres, solid wood or frame for flush facade cladding. Each residence selects its pattern to match its facade.
Low swing and slim frame depth
Unlike residential up-and-overs, the ET 500 fitted behind the opening does not project outwards, and its slim frame keeps parking spaces right next to the door usable.
Ultra-quiet operation
The counterweight eliminates spring vibrations. With ITO or SupraMatic HT motor in Soft-Start/Stop, opening stays smooth and quiet.
Factory-integrated photo sensor
The Lichtschranke is factory-integrated into the ET 500 frame - not a retrofit accessory. Closing safety compliant EN 13241.
Side door and wicket door integrated
Integrated wicket door without threshold (option) for PRM pedestrian passage. Ansichtsgleich side door maintains facade visual uniformity.

- › Soft-Start/Stop integrated
- › BiSecur bidirectional
- › Peak: 1,200 N
ITO 500 FU
Industrial motor with variable frequency drive, 0.5 m/s. 25 cycles per hour, for intensive communal garage use. With the ET 500, 160 or 200 mm of headroom.

Regulatory compliance
The ET 500 meets the specific requirements of motorised communal doors in Luxembourg.
EN 13241 - Industrial door safety
Mandatory CE marking. Factory-integrated photo sensor, motor force limitation, anti-drop device. All ET 500 are factory-compliant.
EN 13241:2003+A2:2016Ventilation through infill
Expanded metal mesh (440) and perforated sheet (412/413) patterns enable compliant natural ventilation. Ventilation rate to be validated with engineering office per car park.
Grand-Ducal ITM regulationFire compartmentalisation
Standard ET 500 is not fire-rated. For required compartmentalisation, pair with a dedicated Hörmann fire door (E30/E60).
EN 13501-2PRM accessibility
Integrated wicket door without threshold for wheelchair and pushchair passage. Clear width to be checked against Luxembourg regulations.
Law of 29/03/2001For which type of project
The ET 500 is the optimal choice when architectural integration and infill customisation are the priority.
Condominium with design facade
Infill pattern chosen to integrate with the building facade. Flush cladding (pattern 405) or smooth aluminium (420) for total visual disappearance of the door.
Car park with natural ventilation
Expanded metal mesh (pattern 440) offers a large natural ventilation cross-section. Paired with factory-integrated photo sensor, the simplest solution for ITM compliance.
Hotel or upscale residence
Aluminium bars (pattern 470) in bronze or black anodising for premium aesthetics. Wicket door for discreet pedestrian guest access.
Office building
Intensive use 5 d/wk, maximum durability needed. The ET 500's wear-free counterweight is designed for 250,000 cycles - no spring to replace over the entire lifespan.
