Most installations take between 3-6 hours depending on door type, garage configuration, and whether we’re replacing an existing door. Sectional doors typically take longer than roller doors. If electrical work is required, installation may extend into a full day.
Clear the garage of vehicles and personal items to provide safe working space. Ensure power is available for tools and testing. If an existing door is being replaced, we’ll handle its removal as part of the service.
Most standard garage openings accommodate sectional or roller doors with appropriate sizing. We measure headroom, side room, and overall opening dimensions during assessment to determine compatible door types. Custom sizing is available for unusual openings.
Sectional doors offer better insulation and suit garages used as workshops, while roller doors are ideal for space-constrained garages with limited headroom. Perth’s climate and your specific garage use will influence the best choice.
Regular maintenance includes monthly visual inspection of springs, cables, and hardware. Lubricate moving parts every 3-6 months, keep tracks clean, and test safety features periodically. Clean door surfaces to prevent salt and debris buildup, particularly important in Perth’s coastal environment.
Professional installation includes thorough testing before completion, but if any operational issues arise we provide ongoing support to address concerns promptly. Most installation-related problems stem from minor adjustments needed as the door breaks in during initial use.
