Garage Door FAQs
Answers to common questions about garage door installation, automation, materials, colours, warranties and service areas.
Can I install a garage door to my carport?
Yes. We would need to see the carport to advise you exactly how it would work, but most carports can have a garage door fitted along with a low headroom kit from the garage door manufacturer.
What is the minimum height for a garage door?
Generally, the minimum height for a garage door is 1920mm. As long as you have a floor-to-ceiling height of approximately 2160mm, you should be okay.
Can I make my garage door automatic?
Most garage doors can be converted from a manual door into an automatic door. Motors can generally be retrofitted with ease, and we also fit motors to unusual tilt and cantilever doors.
On average, around 90% of garage doors can be converted if the existing door is in generally good condition.
Can I get a quote for a garage door?
Yes. Please call 131 546 to book your Measure & Quote.
What warranty do I get?
