Garage Doors
Tilt Garage Doors in Brisbane
Tilt garage doors are a single rigid panel that pivots up and into the garage. They are common on older Brisbane homes and still suit certain openings. We supply, replace, motorise and repair them.
A tilt garage door is one solid panel that pivots on arms and springs. As it opens, the bottom of the door swings out and up, then the whole panel slides back into the garage. Tilt a doors were popular on Brisbane homes for decades, and plenty are still working today.
Whether you want to keep a tilt door running, replace it with a new one or upgrade to a different door type, we can help. We will give you a straight answer about which option makes sense for your opening and budget.
What this covers
Who tilt doors suit
Tilt doors still have a place, particularly on older homes and openings where a feature finish or a single panel look is wanted.
- Older Brisbane homes with an existing tilt door
- Heritage or character homes where a single panel suits the facade
- Owners wanting to clad the door to match the house
- Garages where the existing frame is set up for a tilt door
- Homeowners keeping a working door going with repairs
- Properties being assessed for a door upgrade
Repair, replace or upgrade
Repair
Worn springs, bent arms and loose pivots can often be repaired so the door balances and lifts properly again.
Replace like for like
A new tilt door keeps the look of the house where the frame and opening suit it.
Upgrade to a panel lift door
A sectional door lifts vertically, so you no longer need clearance in front of the garage.
Upgrade to a roller door
A roller door frees up the ceiling and is simple to automate.
Tilt door repairs in Brisbane
Common tilt door problems include a door that has become very heavy, slams shut, sits crooked or will not stay open. These usually point to spring tension or worn hardware. Tilt door springs hold a lot of stored energy, so adjustments should always be made by a technician.
Our repair team works on tilt doors across Brisbane and South East Queensland, and repairs carried out by our team are guaranteed for 12 months.
Motorising a tilt door
Many tilt doors can be fitted with an automatic opener, provided the door is in good condition and balanced correctly. We check the door, the springs and the ceiling space before recommending an opener, so the motor is not fighting a poorly balanced door.
Things to know before you choose
Because a tilt door swings outward as it opens, you need clear space in front of the garage. If cars are often parked close to the door, a sectional or roller door is usually more practical. We will explain the trade offs at the free measure.
