What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Bideford?

Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
Find out whether there's a socket or fused spur near the box position, since every steel door we price is electric.
Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.

Steel roller garage doors in Bideford: questions

Can I get a price for Bideford 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 EX39?

At a survey in EX39 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.

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

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.

Is the survey in Bideford really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can I repaint a steel roller door later?

When you order a new steel door, you can choose a RAL colour or woodgrain finish as a priced extra, and colours outside the manufacturer's range are priced on survey. If you're thinking of repainting the door years later, check the manufacturer's care guidance first, as their warranty terms for the door are set out in writing in your quote.

How do I open a steel roller door in a power cut?

Use the manual override, normally an internal crank or winding handle that turns the barrel by hand. Keep it somewhere you can find quickly. A steel curtain is heavy, so take your time and wind steadily. If you'd rather not crank it, battery backup keeps the door running for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.
