## Frequently asked questions
Common questions from homeowners and businesses.
What type of door is best for my home.
The best door depends on your home, the shed/garage structure, budget, and how you intend to use the space. We’ll walk you through the different options, explaining the pros and cons of each, so you have a clear understanding of what will work best so you can choose the right door with confidence.
Do you work with new builds?
Absolutely. Most new builds nowadays the garage door is the forefront of the home and suppling and installing a door that compliments the design and style of the house is our specialty.
What garage door gives the best security?
The sectional door is by far one of the most secure garage doors on the market. Unlike other styles, it completely closes off the opening and sits firmly against the back of the frame, leaving no gaps to pry or force open.
Each panel locks into robust tracking on both sides, making it extremely difficult to lift or manipulate from the outside. Because the door opens vertically and stores neatly under the ceiling, there’s no exposed leverage point at the front like you get with traditional tilt or canopy doors.
This design not only improves security against break-ins, it also helps seal your garage more effectively against weather, dust, and pests.
If security is a priority for your home or business, a sectional door is the best choice for peace of mind and long‑term protection.
Do you have a variety of garage door finished and materials?
Absolutely. We will work with you or your builder/architect to compliment your house with a product that is the right style for you.
Can I insulate my existing sectional door.
Yes. Insulation can be retrofitted to any sectional door.
How long does the process take from quote to install?
From point of order approximately 3 - 4 weeks. However, if this is a security issue, we have the ability to expediteidite the process.
How long does it take to install a garage door?
This depends on the type of door, size of door and building structure. Generally, between 2 to 4 hours.
I need to lay some carpet in my garage, is that something you do?
Yes. We have a qualified flooring installer who can advise you of the best fit for purpose product for your needs.
## Thinking about replacing your door?
We’ll give you honest advice on whether to repair or replace.
