Explore your optionsSteel, Aluzinc and Chromadek garage doors can require compatible panels, rollers, hinges, tracks, springs or cables. The correct replacement depends on the existing profile and mechanism. A steel sectional replacement must be matched to its spring system. Different panel weights can change the hardware and balance requirements.
Explore your optionsRoll-up garage doors use a curtain, guides, lifting supports and suitable automation. Damage to the curtain may require a different repair approach from a motor or guide fault. The spring and lift design of a roll-up curtain differs from a sectional system. Use the correct system-specific parts and do not interchange the mechanisms.
Explore your optionsAluminium doors, caravan-height openings and custom-size garage doors require measurements and an assessment of the opening, fixings, clearances and proposed automation. Large or unusual openings require a lift specification that accounts for actual door weight and supports. Spring work is not a universal one-size component.
