How long does it take a professional to install a garage door?

In New Zealand, once all the materials are on site, a professional generally takes around three to four hours to install a single door. This process can take longer if the installer first has to remove the existing door and its components or if the door is larger than the standard single door size or a more complex door type.

How much clearance do you need to install a garage door?

Typically you’ll need about 40cm (50cm for high lift doors) of overhead clearance and 12cm of side clearance when installing these doors. For the overhead clearance, approximately 32cm of this will accommodate the door itself and the torsion spring system, and the remaining will be for the opener equipment. Depth clearance depends on the door’s height and is usually calculated as the door height plus 50cm.
