Your Tilt Garage Door,
Built to Last

Answers to the questions we hear most often about choosing, installing, and looking after your garage door.

• What factors should I consider when choosing a garage door?

  When selecting a garage door, consider factors such as your budget, the available space, insulation needs, security features, and the style of your home. Each type of door offers unique benefits tailored to different preferences and requirements.

• How do I maintain my garage door?

  Regular maintenance includes a full door service once a year. We tighten every bolt and screw on the door, realign the rails to a level position, lubricate every moving part, and finally reset the pressure on the opener itself. Cleaning is not included.

• Are garage doors insulated?

  Roller doors cannot be insulated. Sectional doors can be ordered with insulation built in, which helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy costs, and minimise noise.

• What is the cost of a garage door?

  Prices vary a lot depending on several factors. The type of door (roller, sectional or tilt) is one. Size is the biggest factor, the smaller the door the cheaper the price. Finally, customisations such as windows or special colours can add to the price.

• What to do if my garage door spring broke?

  First and foremost, pull on the manual release to take the load off the opener so it does not get damaged on the way. If auto-locking mechanisms are engaged, manually retract them and do not try to force the door open. Finally, give us a call. Changing a spring yourself can be tricky and dangerous.

• Can I pair my garage to my gate openers?

  Absolutely. Openers can be paired to the same remote using an external receiver, or by using the same brand for both.

• Can I customize the design of my garage door?

  Absolutely. At Sparrow Garage Doors, we offer a range of customisable options, including materials, colours, finishes, and additional features such as windows or decorative hardware.

• How long does it take to install a garage door?

  The installation time depends on the type of door and the complexity of the project. On average, professional installation can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.

• What safety features do modern garage doors have?

  Modern garage doors come with advanced safety features, such as auto-reverse mechanisms, motion sensors, and manual release options, ensuring secure and reliable operation.
