Tilt Garage Doors

Tilt doors are a garage door design that was traditionally used in older homes, with limited overhead or side space. The door opens in one solid piece out and up, pivoting on two arms. A good looking, simple garage door style that is fast becoming obsolete and discontinued by many suppliers, tilt doors are not often seen in new builds these days but we repair current tilt doors and can supply replacement tilt garage doors if your property happens to have one.

    If you are looking to blend form with function, tilt doors deliver a striking yet understated appearance that integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of house styles.

    Space and Installation Requirements

    Tilt garage doors can be suitable for homes with limited ceiling height or if your garage door opening has unusual dimensions or shape. The door panel slides on two pivoting arms before swinging out and tilting into the garage space, which makes them a good choice for garages where there is limited overhead or side clearance for roller or sectional door mechanisms.

    The main installation requirement for a tilt door is the amount of space needed in front of the garage. Because it swings out before tilting up, you need to ensure that there is enough clearance at the front of the garage opening for the door to operate smoothly and that it will not interfere with pedestrians or parked cars. For this reason, tilt garage doors are best for properties with longer driveways and less foot traffic coming to and from the front door.

    Smooth Operation and Convenience

    A tilt door operates quietly and is designed with high quality components that ensure reliable, trouble free operation. For added convenience, most tilt garage doors can be fitted with an automatic opener that can be either manually or electrically operated, are remote controlled and compatible with key ring remote transmitters.

    Additional features may include:

    • Emergency key release in case of power outage
    • Spring balanced mechanism for smoother lift and close
    • Heavy duty bottom rail for structural support and durability
    • Angled bottom rail to suit garages with sloped floors
    • Manual override system for entry during a malfunction or power failure

    All tilt doors are rigorously engineered to ensure quiet hinges, reduced vibration, and hassle free entry every time you return home.

    How Tilt Garage Doors Add Value

    While tilt garage doors have practical advantages, it’s important to remember that they can also add value to your property. Sleek lines, solid construction, and a customisable finish make tilt garage doors a head-turning asset for any façade. They can also be a perfect choice for renovations, custom builds, or simply upgrading an older system if you are thinking of installing a tilting garage door.

    Minimalist panel or statement piece with design flourishes, tilt garage doors offer the freedom to accentuate your garage’s function and curb appeal all at once in a single investment.

    Inexperienced individuals should not attempt repairs. Our experienced technicians handle garage door service, emergency callouts, and ensure compliance with safety standards.
