If you’re looking for a new garage door, these are the kind of questions you should be asking…
We’ve taken our 50 years of experience within Perth’s garage door industry and popped some of the interesting facts we've found into these handy 9 points.
1.) 55% of homeowners use their garage door as their main entry point. Some even call their garage door the "front door".
2.) A garage door is the largest moving item in a home and in some cases, businesses too!
3.) The average garage door opens and closes 3-5 times per day. That's roughly 1,500 times per year!
4.) When was the last time you serviced your garage door? They should be serviced every 12 months to ensure they are operating in a safe manner, and to prevent costly repairs in the future.
5.) Commercial/industrial doors and shutters should be serviced every 3-12 months depending on how many operations they complete and the surrounding environment.
If you haven't had your garage door serviced for a while, or you'd like to schedule a reminder from one of our friendly team members for whenever your residential or commercial door is next due a look over, feel free to contact us via our garage door repairs & servicing page here: Garage Door Repairs & Servicing.

6.) Garage doors increase home security! Modern garage doors and motors have security features that make it hard for intruders to gain access to your home.
7.) Garage door remotes with "rolling codes" automatically change codes after every use. This ensures security, safety and high-quality remotes that will secure your home.
