What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Belfast?
- Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
- Look at the reveals on each side for solid masonry, because the guide rails need roughly 75 to 100 mm of wall to fix to.
- Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
- If the door is for a lock-up or garage court, list each opening separately, as every door is measured and priced for its own opening.

Manual roller garage doors in Belfast: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Belfast?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Belfast garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Belfast?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland, and widening the opening needs building control approval from your council. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Can I get a price for Belfast without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
What do you check at a survey in BT1?
At a survey in BT1 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.
Can I have insulated laths on a manual roller door?
Our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths, and the insulated doors in our price list are electric. So if a warmer, quieter garage is what you're after, you'd be looking at an insulated electric door. Compare the two price bands for your width and think about how you use the space before deciding whether the extra cost is worth it.
Is a manual roller door a good fit for a garage court or lock-up?
Often, yes. Manual roller doors are practical for private garage courts and lock-ups owned by landlords, residents' associations or management companies, especially where individual garages have no power. We can survey and price several doors together, and each opening is measured separately so every door is made for its own opening.
