What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Edinburgh?
- Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
- Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
- Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
- Look at the brick or blockwork on each side of the opening, as the guide rails for a steel door need solid reveals to fix to.

Steel roller garage doors in Edinburgh: questions
Is the survey in Edinburgh 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 you remove my old garage door in Edinburgh?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Edinburgh address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Edinburgh?
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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh garage so you can compare.
Can I have a manual steel roller door?
The steel doors in our price list are electric, because a steel curtain is heavier than an aluminium one and the tubular motor does the lifting. If you want a hand-operated door, our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths. Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician can fit a fused spur from an existing circuit, shown as a separate line in your quote; a new supply to a garage with no power is priced on survey.
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.
