Lack of advice and possibilities on mistakes in DIY installation of your garage door may spoil the joy of the new door and even cause serious accidents in the worst case. If you want to have your garage door installed in a short time and not on your own, it would be better if you rely on professionals.
1. Remove the old garage door in case of renovation
Before the installation of a new garage door, the old one has to be removed. Certificated Hörmann professionals offer the removal as well as the installation of garage doors and can also evaluate if guide rails and frames can be kept or if have to be changed for new ones. This may even help to save money, and long lasting and difficult working steps can be avoided.
2. Measure the door's opening
Accuracy in measuring is required for the door to fit into the garage opening. Once the frame is installed incorrectly, the garage door opens clumsily and makes noises when opening and closing, or does not open at all. In order to make it easy for you and so that you do not have to worry, our professionals will make the measurements for you. So you can be sure that the garage door fulfills your needs and fits well into the opening of the garage.

3. Find the correct material for wall installation

As garage doors generate high tensile and compressive forces when they are opened or closed it is especially important, that the guiding rails are fixed to the wall with using appropriate material.

It is not possible to imagine garage doors without automated operators nowadays. To guarantee enough space at the ceiling of the garage as well as an overall look, the operators should be considered during the planning.
