DOUBLE WOODEN GARAGE DOORS
Natural detail.
Designed around your opening.
Double wooden garage doors can give a wider entrance a warm, distinctive finish. Meranti is one of the wood types commonly used for traditional panel designs, while different profiles and finishes create a more contemporary or classic appearance.
The door is more than its appearance. A wider wooden door needs the correct supporting hardware, spring balance, tracks and clearances to operate smoothly and safely.
Measure width and height, plus headroom and side clearance.
Regular coating checks help manage sun, moisture and wear.
Motor choice follows the door’s movement and counterbalance.

BUILT AROUND THE WHOLE SYSTEM
Good looks depend on
good door balance.
With a double wooden garage door, the panels, tracks, springs, rollers and motor have to work as one system. The opening, door design and frequency of use all influence the correct specification.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
A motor should not be used to lift a heavy, unbalanced or damaged door. If the door jams, sits unevenly or has a broken cable or spring, stop using it and arrange a professional inspection.
MEASURING THE OPENINGWidth · Height · Headroom · Side space
SIZES & CLEARANCES
Measure the opening.
Choose the right fit.
The often-quoted 5,000 × 2,170 mm dimension is only a useful example for a double opening. It is not a universal finished-door size. The correct choice depends on measurements and the manufacturer's installation requirements.
Width and height
Measure the opening at several points to account for any difference in wall or floor levels.
Headroom and side space
Tracks, brackets, spring assemblies and the selected opening mechanism all require clearance.
Floor and weather exposure
Consider an uneven floor, the bottom seal and drainage around the entrance.
Motor and power
Discuss automation, usage frequency, backup power needs and safe operation before installation.
For an accurate quotation, send a photo of the full opening, your suburb and approximate width and height. Final measurements should be confirmed before manufacturing or installation.
FINISHES & WOODEN DOOR CARE
Protect your wooden door.
Care for every component.
Exterior wooden doors need a suitable protective finish and regular attention. Sun, rain and moisture around the bottom edge can affect both appearance and long-term condition.
Check the coating for dullness, cracks or peeling and maintain it in line with the product instructions.
Inspect exposed edges and the bottom seal. Keep water from collecting against the door.
Arrange inspection of rollers, hinges, tracks, cables and balance if movement changes.
Leave spring tension, cables and other loaded components to a qualified technician.

WOODEN DOOR REPAIRS & SERVICING
Not every problem
needs a new door.
A heavy door, unusual noise, damaged panel or uneven movement can have several causes. Springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hinges and the opener all need to be considered, rather than assuming the motor is at fault.
Panel repair or replacement may be possible, depending on the damage, door construction and availability of a compatible design. Significant water damage or structural deterioration may make replacement more practical.

REPAIR & ASSESSMENT / PROJECT PHOTOGRAPHFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before choosing
a double wooden door.
These are the practical questions to consider before requesting a quotation.
Send your enquiry ↗What is the typical size of a double wooden garage door?
A common reference for a double garage opening is around 5,000 mm wide by 2,170 mm high, but it is not a guaranteed door size. The actual opening, headroom, side clearance, track configuration and manufacturer specifications must be checked before ordering.
Can I choose a particular Meranti panel design?
The original catalogue shows raised-panel, horizontal, Rustic, Tuscan, Brick and Gothic-style references. Tell us which design you prefer and we can discuss suitable options and whether that profile is available for your opening.
Does a double wooden garage door need more maintenance?
Wooden doors need periodic checks of the protective finish, especially at exposed edges and areas affected by water or sun. The hinges, rollers, cables and counterbalance should also be inspected and serviced as recommended by the manufacturer.
Can a double wooden garage door be automated?
Often, yes, if the door is properly fitted, balanced and in good condition. Motor selection depends on the door design, its movement, weight, dimensions, usage and safety requirements; a suitably rated opener should be chosen after assessment.
Can you repair a sagging or damaged wooden garage door?
Many problems can be assessed for repair, including damaged panels, rollers, hinges, tracks, cables or opener faults. Whether a door or panel can be repaired depends on its condition, structural integrity and the availability of compatible parts.
Is one double garage door better than two single garage doors?
One double door provides an uninterrupted opening, while two single doors can provide independent access and may suit properties with a central support pillar. The better layout depends on the structure, available clearance, security needs and everyday use.
