Whether you live on the South Island or the North, we've outlined what to look for in an installer and where to find an installation team you can trust, region by region.

What to look for in a garage door installer

A high-quality installation ensures your garage door is fit for use, it operates quietly and smoothly, and its motor is powerful enough to reliably operate the door for many years to come. Therefore, first-class garage door installation is just as important as the quality of the door itself.

Installing garage doors takes a certain level of skill and professionalism, so always check the qualifications and experience of your installation team before you trust them with the job. You should be aware of whether the installation process comes with a warranty and always ask about after-sales support. This is key for when it's time to have your door serviced or should anything go wrong.
