Automated Garage Doors Benefits

Automated garage doors benefits – the Doormatic guide…

Those of you who’ve already discovered the joys of automated garage doors will know exactly how satisfying they are to have and operate. Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like pulling up to your garage on a cold, wet, dark evening… and not having to get out of the car to open the garage door. If that sounds over-the-top (no pun intended) well… we all have to take pleasure out of life where we can, don’t we?!

Of course, there are other benefits to having an automated garage door, such as:

1: Ease of access – automation is just simpler, isn’t it? No more fiddling with keys in locks, pulling down bolts, or trying to stop doors being caught by high winds. Just press a button, and let the motor do the rest.

2: Better insulation – automated garage doors are very efficient at insulating your space and reducing loss of heat. This is a real bonus if you’re someone who uses their garage as a workshop or hobby room.

3: Energy efficient – they may seem to use a lot of power to work, but the amount of electricity required to open and close an automated garage door is actually very small. They generally only take 15 seconds to open or close, and don’t use much power when not in use.

4: Space saving – of our ranges, sectional or roller garage doors offer the most when it comes to making the most of your available space.

5: Added value – investing in an automated garage door can improve the appearance of your home. We can source and supply a door to suit virtually any property. They are available in a huge range of colours, materials and finishes.

Get an automated garage door for your home

We’ve been supplying and fitting automated garage doors in Surrey for over 20 years. If you’re considering one for your home, please give us a call on 01483 237393. We have a courteous, experienced team ready to assist you.

Garage Doors Winter Maintenance Guide

Oh the weather outside is frightful…

It’s that time of year again, with strongs winds, increased rain and dropping temperatures. Yes, winter is here – and so is our garage doors winter maintenance guide! Obviously things aren’t all bad – it’s nearly Christmas, after all – but your garage doors are likely to be faced with some challenging weather conditions, and giving them some TLC now will be of real benefit.

Putting in some time into your garage doors winter maintenance is going to help you avoid possible need for repair further down the line – here are a few DIY tips from us that you can all put into practice.

1: A good clean is a good start! They don’t need to be spotless, but removing dirt, especially around the hinges (if your doors are hinged) will help stop ‘clogging’ and prevent the onset of rust.

2: Pay particular attention to the weather stripping (located towards the bottom of your doors), keeping an eye open for any cracks or tears that may be developing. This area is key in keeping your garage interior dry – and the winter weather out.

3: If your garage doors have windows, check and clean these also. If you do notice any damage, it’s better to act now than wait – rain and snow can cause further problems. The sealing around the windows is an area that needs some vigilance, as this protects your window frames. If in doubt, give us a call for advice.

4: If your doors have any moving parts, check for build-ups of grease on the tracks and rollers, and wipe away with a cloth. Grease build-up can impede the smooth opening and closing of your doors, especially in winter. To be safe – please do not attempt to adjust any cables or springs without expert assistance. If you notice a problem with these aspects of your door, call us for assistance.

5: It’s cold, snowing, you’ve just arrived home… and your garage doors won’t open. You’ve guessed it – the batteries in the remote control have run out. We’ve all done it – so check you’ve got a fresh set of batteries running, and avoid that ‘oh no’ moment!

Need help with your garage doors winter maintenance?

If you think your garage doors need some expert attention, please give us a call on 01483 237393. We have a courteous, experienced team ready to assist you.

Garage Door Fitting and DIY danger

Garage door fitting is not as easy a DIY job as some garage door suppliers – including major high street companies – will lead you to believe.

In fact, garage doors can be very dangerous to fit. The springs that help lift the garage door are under incredible tension. We have just had an example of a client removing the spring tension clip on a Canopy Up & Over Door before the door was screwed to the frame. You can see what happened in the picture above!

The result, luckily, was the spring ripping off the door BUT this could have been far worse. Had the client’s face or arm been in the way, the physical damage could have been terrible. Canopy Up & Over Doors are the most basic of garage doors to fit but they should always be fitted by a very competent tradesman.

Need help with garage door fitting?

If you have a garage door project you need assistance with, please give us a call on 01483 237393. We have a courteous, experienced team ready to assist you.
