Our Garage Door Installation Process
A step-by-step approach for a safe, seamless fit.
1
Site Assessment and Preparation
Our team begins by taking detailed measurements of your garage opening to ensure that your new garage door installation is made to order and fits the space exactly. A reputable quote includes the removal of the old door, which we handle safely and responsibly.
2
Door and Track Installation
Door panels (roller, sectional, or tilt as requested) are professionally installed by our team. This stage involves precise garage door fitting, ensuring tracks, hardware, and components are reliable for smooth operation. Proper installation of garage doors is crucial for their safe and efficient operation.
3
Motor and Automation Setup
Garage door motor openers and locking mechanisms are installed. Automatic garage door openers can be retrofitted, but we ensure everything is aligned and tightened safely and securely during the garage installation for long-term use.
4
Final Checks and Handover
The entire garage door install process follows a standardized 4-to-6-hour professional process, which includes testing for balance, security and automation operation. Garage doors must be correctly balanced to ensure safe operation, so we test this rigorously before showing you how to use your new door.

Types of Garage Door Installations
Choosing the right type of garage door installation is important. We can install all major garage door styles. Perth homeowners typically choose between Sectional Doors and Roller Doors, with the former preferred for style and energy efficiency.
Sectional Garage Doors
Sectional garage doors (also known as panel-lift doors) are made of individual panels hinged together that run along metal tracks fixed to the ceiling. Sectional Doors are favoured for new builds and renovations due to their modern appeal and insulation. Insulated panels are a growing trend for homeowners using garages as workspaces. They come in various styles and colours, making them the preferred choice for residential homes.
Roller Garage Doors
Roller doors are typically made from a pleated sheet of steel and are a practical option for those with a limited budget. They work by rolling up into a tight coil at the top of the door frame, saving space. This is the best option for garage door installs if you have a short driveway. They are a cost effective solution for sheds and carports, and can be reinforced to resist strong winds, making them suitable for coastal areas.
Tilt Doors
Tilt doors are becoming less common due to safety concerns, as they are made from one single solid panel that simply lifts up and out. However, some modern homes still use tilt doors. You can fully customise the colour and finish (timber look, Colorbond), and some people simply prefer the simple, clean aesthetic.

Upgrade Outdated Doors
If your home or property still uses an old tilt garage door, now is the time to think about upgrading to a more modern alternative. We will often recommend upgrading old tilt doors to more modern roller doors or sectional doors to improve security against forced entry.
Modern garage door installation is generally smoother, quieter and easier to maintain. The better garage doors are also able to handle Perth’s changing weather conditions and urban designs better.

We service leading brands to keep sourcing simple and downtime low. Common systems include Merlin, Steel-Line, Chamberlain, ATA, B&D, Centurion, Guardian, Boss and Gliderol.
