Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

How much does a basic garage door cost?

While many garage doors appear similar, they come in various sizes. To provide an accurate estimate, please contact us with your brick-to-brick measurements, preferred design, and color.

Can I purchase extra remotes for my automatic garage door?

Yes, additional remotes are available for your automatic garage door. Contact us with your door’s make and model, and we’ll assist in supplying compatible remotes.

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes, we provide free site surveys and provide a free quotation for new doors.

What should I do if there's a power cut? How can I open my garage door?

All of our automatic doors come with a manual override, allowing you to open the door during a power cut. If there is no secondary access to your garage, we can install an external lockable override. Additionally, we offer a battery backup option that ensures your door operates even when the power is out.

Can we have any colour?

Yes, we offer a wide range of colours for your garage door, allowing you to choose one that best suits your property’s style. We can provide colour options from standard ranges as well as custom colours to meet your preferences.

Do you match existing colours?

Yes, we can match existing colours to ensure your new garage door blends seamlessly with your property’s exterior.

Can someone else open the automatic door if they have a remote control?

Only the remote controls that are programmed into your specific automatic door can open it. If someone else has a remote control programmed to your door, they can operate it. However, we can reprogram the system or remove any unauthorised remotes if you need to restrict access.

Which garage door is the most secure?

The most secure garage doors are typically those with reinforced steel or solid materials that are difficult to break through. Additionally, features like a secure locking system, impact resistance, and tamper-proof components enhance security. Automatic doors with rolling codes for remote entry are also more secure, as they change the entry code with each use to prevent hacking or unauthorised access.

Do you provide matching side doors?

Yes, we provide matching side doors and front entrance doors. Contact us for more information.

What are your opening hours?

Our regular opening hours are 7 AM to 4 PM, Monday to Friday. However, our phone line is available outside these hours.

Which areas do you serve?

We serve all of Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs, and for specialized work, we can cover additional areas. Please contact us for more information.

Do you offer bespoke doors?

Yes, we can supply a wide range of doors in bespoke sizes, finishes, and designs.

Are your fitters directly employed by you?

Yes, our installers are directly employed by us and have many years of experience.

Installation

How Long Does It Take to Get a New Door Fitted?

Most standard garage doors take six to eight weeks to arrive after placing your order, though some may take longer. Our goal is to install your door within one week of its arrival. Additionally, we stock a wide range of popular doors, enabling us to address urgent situations where security may be at risk.

Can You Fit an Automatic Operator to My Existing Door?

In most cases, existing garage doors can be converted for automatic operation. Contact us with the details of your current door, and we’ll provide accurate guidance. Alternatively, we can arrange a free site survey for you.

Service & Maintenance

Do you repair garage doors?

Yes, we repair most types of garage doors. We offer a rapid diagnosis and perform checks on:

  • Roller wheels
  • Spring tension
  • Gear and tracks
  • Remote controls
  • Cable tension/lubrication
  • Anti-drop function
  • And more…
Do you repair roller doors?

Yes, most roller doors can be repaired. If the door wasn’t installed by us, it’s helpful to know the brand name when you contact us so we can confirm we can assist. We also offer an on-site diagnostic service.

Do you stock any spare parts?

Yes, we stock most common spare parts and can either send items to you or arrange for an on-site repair service. Please send us pictures and details of what you need, and we’ll do our best to assist. Since there are various types of doors, the more information you provide, the easier it will be for us to help. You can email us at admin@easterngaragedoorrepairs.com.au.

Do you take away the old door?

Yes, we always remove and dispose of the old door unless you request otherwise.

If I buy an automatic door, will you provide support if there’s a problem?

Yes, we’ll come out if there’s a problem. Providing a description of the fault will help us diagnose the issue. Additionally, if you need assistance with manually overriding the door during a power cut, give us a call—if we can’t resolve it over the phone, we’ll visit as soon as possible.

My new car is bigger than my previous one, how can I gain more space?

This is a common issue as cars continue to get bigger. We offer several garage modification options to help, including altering brickwork or removing central pillars between two single doors and converting them into one larger door.
