Do you need consent for a garage door?

If you are the property owner, you do not need consent to install a garage door in New Zealand. However, if you're making any structural changes, such as adding walls, building a carport or moving structural walls, you’ll need to submit the appropriate plans and apply for the necessary permits.

How often do garage doors need maintenance?

Garage doors receive frequent use. As such, it’s recommended to service your door at least twice a year. The best time of the year to do this would be in the fall, just before the cold and wet winter. The other time would be during spring when the temperatures and moisture levels change again.

How often should you change a garage door?

A garage door can last about 30 years with proper bi-annual maintenance and care in New Zealand. Circumstances such as someone driving into the door or heavy flooding could mean you need to replace the door much sooner. The lifespan of openers is much shorter, and you may have to replace the openers every ten to 15 years.

The advantages of hiring a skilled garage door professional

There are many reasons why you should hire a garage door specialist in New Zealand to install or repair your door.
