Can my garage door be fixed?
The repair will depend on the damage and the type of garage door you have. Each situation is different. Sometimes garage door repairs is all you may need, however in some circumstances the garage door may not be able to be fixed. If so, we will arrange a quotaton for replacement for you accordingly. With roller doors as one piece of continous colourbond, we may be able to secure the garage but the door may not be able to be bent back into normal shape where it can roll evenly and smoothly. With panelift doors, or sectional doors, sometimes it is possible to replace the separate panels without replacing the whole door. Emergency garage door repairs that result in a quotation for replacement will all depend on type, model, age of the existing door and some other factors. Depending on the impact and damage this may also impact your garage door motor and this may need to be replaced.
Free Measure and Quote
The damage may be very small or large. If you are not in need of an emergency repair first, we will organise a free measure and quote for you. Twin City Roller Doors will provide a written quotation for you on the cost of a new replacement door or an extensive repair. A large number of customers choose to make a claim on their house and contents insurance for the replacement. Check with your individual insurance provider for exact procedures and inclusions.
On the day of installation
Our garage door installers and technicians will put the new door in, either with or without a new garage door motor and remove and take away your old damaged door.
Impacted your garage door before?
If you have had this happen before its likely the garage door isn't running correctly. Without a proper assessment or service, the door will not run as well as it did prior to being hit. If this is you, please organise a service with our technicians.
