Garage doors are the gateway into your home and they play a crucial role in enhancing security, functionality and convenience. With the numerous technological advancements over the last few years, electric garage doors have become increasingly popular due to their seamless and efficient operation.
The installation process for electric garage doors can seem daunting, especially for those of us who have a limited technical knowledge. As a trusted provider of high-quality electric garage doors, Garolla make the installation process as smooth and stress free as possible.
Pre-Installation Preparations
Before delving into the intricacies of the installation itself, it is important to make some preparations to lay the groundwork for a seamless installation experience.
1. Book a free survey
The first step is to schedule a survey with one of our experienced engineers - you can find out more about your local engineer here. This assessment allows our team to evaluate your garage opening and ensure that everything will line up perfectly. This is also when the engineer will check for any structural issues that may pose a risk.
2. Choose a garage door
With so much variation to choose from, it is important to carefully select the garage door that best caters to your needs and preferences - consider what you use your garage for, alongside size, colour and style.
Here at Garolla, we have four options available; Transform, Transform Pro, Titan and Titan XL. Each door style has its own unique benefits and comes in a selection of colours.
3. Receive a quote
Once the survey has been completed, the engineer will provide you with a quote outlining the final price - there's no hidden costs, and delivery and installation is free. We make sure that these quotes are as detailed as possible to ensure transparency and allow you to make an informed decision.
4. Confirm your order
Once you’re happy with the quote, you can confirm your order and schedule the installation date. We make sure that the installation will be carried out by the same engineer who performed your survey. They will be on hand to answer any questions.
Installation Day
When the day of your garage door installation finally arrives, our engineers will follow this system.
Arrival of the Engineer
When the engineer arrives, the installation will begin straight away. Each member of the Garolla team is friendly and happy to answer all of your questions. The engineer will swiftly set up their workspace, ensuring they have easy access to the garage opening and surrounding area.
Removal of your Old Garage Door
Before the installation can begin, the engineer will need to remove your old door and any associated framework. In most cases we can dispose of your old door free of charge, depending on the material it's made from.
Door Installation
The engineer will then install your new electric garage door, side rails, top box and control box. All of our engineers work with precision and care to ensure that there is no damage to the new door.
Testing and Adjustments
Once the door is installed, we will carefully open and close the door multiple times, checking for smooth operation, proper alignment, and adherence to safety protocols. Any adjustments will be made promptly to ensure the door functions flawlessly.
The engineer will clean up any debris from the installation process. We will also provide you with instructions on how to operate and maintain your new electric garage door. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions!
Payment and Recycling
With Garolla, you don’t pay until you’re happy and satisfied with the installation. We also offer a free 5 year warranty on all of our doors as part of our commitment to customer satisfaction. That’s the Garolla Guarantee.
