We are happy to visit your home and advise you accordingly as to which door size will be the best for your opening, taking the structure and clearances into account.

Q. Which design will be right for my home?

A. Your garage can account for up to 40% of the front elevation of your home. As such, it can have a major impact on how your home will look. It is important, therefore, that you choose the correct design and material that will help to help personalise your home now, and you will still appreciate in 10, 15 or even 20 years time. When making your decision, you will have to take into consideration not only the current style of your home but also how the door will look in the surrounding area. Some local councils may require you to obtain planning permission before changing your door.

Q. What material and finish should I choose?

A. This decision should be considered in the same way as the choice of design. All doors in the AllStyle Garage Door range are available in a variety of materials and finishes.

Q. What lifting mechanism should I choose?

A. This decision is just as important as the choice of material and finish. Do you need your garage door to have extra height or width to accommodate tall or large vehicles, boats or caravans? You wouldn't want to purchase a new garage door only to find that your car or boat is too high or too wide to clear the door panel or lifting mechanism.

Q. Which accessories are worth considering?

This is the final decision that you will need to make. Accessories can help add your own personal finishing touch to the garage door. Probably the best accessory that you could choose, is a motor. Not only does it allow you to open and close your new garage door from the comfort of your car, it will also add value to your home. Additionally, it will also encourage you to actually park your car in the garage overnight, saving it not only from the elements but also from the risk of theft.
Designer windows - add style to your new door and also allow natural light into your garage thus saving on your electricity bills.

Q. Why should I use a professional installer?

A. At AllStyle Garage Doors, we firmly believe that the installation of a garage door is not a do-it-yourself job. A garage door is the largest moving object in your home and because of the number of parts, its installation is highly technical. One of the other services a professional installer can provide is the disposal of your old door, if you are replacing a door. Professional installers can typically install a door in a few hours and are careful to make sure safety requirements are met. Installations by most homeowners typically span several days and cause much frustration. In addition, incorrect installation can void certain warranties, so we recommend a professional handle the job for you.

Q. How do I dispose of my old garage door if I replace it with a new one?

A. AllStyle Garage Doors will properly dispose of your old garage door when we install your new door for a small additional fee. Discuss this with the salesperson when you get your quotation for your new garage door.

Q. When I replace my existing door, can I keep my old tracks?

We recommend replacing your track when you replace your door because each brand of garage door has been specially designed to work with a specific type of track. In addition, replacing your track is an inexpensive way to insure that your entire garage door system is as safe as possible. By replacing your track you also ensure that your door warranty will apply.

Q. Are special size doors available? I have a custom-built garage that features an unusual size door.

A. Yes. Through our experience and research into materials and mechanisms, we can provide a solution to meet your need.

Q. Do I need a lock on my garage door?

A. If a motor has been installed on your door, it is not necessary to have a lock as newer motors function as the lock. If you have an older motor opener, check to see if your door can be lifted from the outside. We discourage homeowners from attaching a lock when a motor has been installed, because too frequently, a person may accidentally lock the door. If someone then tries to open the door using the motor then the motor will pull against the lock causing the door to be damaged. If no motor is installed on your door, you should certainly have a lock
installed.

Q. Can manual doors be made automatic?

A. Most doors can be automated by using a motor and remote control. If you are unsure please contact us so that one of our sales representatives can visit your home to assist you in selecting the right solution.

Q. What is the best door for limited space?

A. While doors which roll upwards and out of the way are ideal, occasionally the best door is a 'tilt-up' door which, when retracted (or lifted) sits almost flush with the ceiling.

Q. How much does installation cost?

A. Installation costs depend on a number of factors ranging from the
· type of door
· the structure it is being fitted to
· is the door to be manual or automated

To get an indication of the cost, contact one of our sales representatives for a no-obligation quote.
