How much should you spend on a garage door?
The amount you spend on a garage door largely depends on the size of your garage opening. At Garolla we have a range of four roller garage doors, starting with our Transform which is suitable for garages up to 2.5m wide, and our Titan Shield Pack which is engineered for garages up to 5.8m wide.
Each of our doors come with different levels of polurethane insulation for added strength across wider openings, along with extras such as deeper guide rails and our industry-leading SafeGuard Plus control system.
How much is a new garage door fitted?
You can get a new garage door fitted by Garolla from just £895 in the shape of our Transform door. Other doors in our range include our Transform Pro (from £1,275), our Titan (from £1,495) and our Titan Shield Pack which is a £295 upgrade to our Titan door. All of our prices include free fitting and a free five-year warranty for extra peace of mind.
Which type of garage door is best?
We believe we build and fit the best value for money garage doors out there. Our roller garage doors are tough, trusted and transformative. They open and close at the touch of a button, unlock up to 25% more space compared and give your property a clean, modern look.
Every Garolla garage door is made to measure and engineered to withstand everyday life. When we speak to customers, we often ask what they intend to use their garage door in order to determine which of our garage doors is best for them. When it comes to maximum security we would recommend our Titan Shield Pack upgrade - our toughest electric garage door yet.
However, we're proud of all of our doors and, depending on the size of your garage opening, would be able to recommend any of them for your home.
Are new garage doors worth it?
New garage doors from Garolla have the ability to transform your garage and how you use it, while also revitalising the look of your home. One-touch remote control operation means that you no longer need to try and lift your old up and over garage door, while an enclosed top box which the 'curtain' of slats rolls around means that you can enjoy a garage without the bulky internal framework associated with sectional doors - freeing up to 25% more space. So, are new garage doors worth it? Undoubtedly.
All new Garolla doors also come with a free five-year warranty, so you will also benefit from this extra peace of mind if you're upgrading your old garage door.
Can I install my own garage door?
Garolla has a nationwide of engineers which surveys and fits all of our doors. Fitting is included as part of our service free of charge, so there would be no need to install your own garage door when you choose a Garolla.

How do you burglar proof a garage door?
Garolla roller garage doors are engineered to withstand everyday life and prevent opportunist criminals gaining access to your garage.
Our slats are constructed from double-skinned aluminium and high-density polyurethane foam for added strength. The slats link together to form a 'curtain' which then auto locks in place so that it cannot be lifted manually.
Secure guide rails ensure a straight and secure close with no gaps for prying open.
Our industry-leading SafeGuard Plus operating system comes as standard with our Transform Pro, Titan and Titan Shield Pack doors. This is our industry-leading obstacle detection motor (ODM) that instantly rebounds your door should it encounter an obstruction. A range of extras to SafeGuard Plus can also boost security, including a infra-red light curtain for contactless safety, sound alarm and control unit with courtesy light.
