Yes they have come a long way since the original single point locking. Doors now using 2 point locking as standard, with the option to upgrade to 4 point locking. Though they are more secure options on the market, the up & over door still provides a reasonably secure door at a reasonable price.
Yes, this option can be motorised, as long as there is power available in your garage.
They require yearly maintenance which consists of spraying all the mechanics down with a silicone base lubricant, as well as the painted finish of the door being washed down once a year, or when dirty, with a light detergent and a non abrasive clean sponge.
The doors lack of insulation and the need of gaps for the door to open, create constant airflow through the door. Also canopy doors with no tracks into the garage (although they have windlocks) can blow closed in high wind situations as they stick out of the garage 1/3, whereas the retractable up & over door are more stable, retracting fully into the garage (with the downside of tracks taking up storage space).
