What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Exmouth?

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.
Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.

Rules that apply in Exmouth

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Manual roller garage doors in Exmouth: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Exmouth?

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 Exmouth garage so you can compare.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Exmouth?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Do you charge more for Exmouth than other towns in Devon?

No. Guide prices are the same for Exmouth as for anywhere else we cover in Devon. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Do you cover Exmouth?

Yes. Exmouth is part of the area we cover in Devon, including EX8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can a manual roller door be converted to electric later?

Only if the existing door is right for it. A manual-to-electric conversion needs the curtain, barrel, box and guides to be sound and compatible with a tubular motor, and a power supply has to be added near the box. We check all of this at a free survey. If the door isn't suitable, we'll tell you plainly and price a new electric door.

Do manual roller doors need servicing?

They need less attention than an electric door, but basic care still helps. Keep the guide rails free of leaves and grit, and only use the lubricant the manufacturer recommends, as many doors shouldn't have oil on the guides. If the door becomes heavy to lift, drops on its own or runs unevenly, stop using it and ask for a visit, priced and agreed beforehand.
