Questions people ask
Which garage door is best for a Dubai villa?
A sectional door suits most villas. A roller door suits tight headroom. A panoramic door suits a showcase garage. We measure and recommend.
Do I need an insulated door?
An insulated door reduces heat gain, especially for a garage attached to living space. It is a choice at the quote.
Can I open the door by hand if the power fails?
Yes. A manual release is fitted so you can lift the door. We show you at handover.
Why does my garage door reverse before closing?
The sensor may be dirty or misaligned, or the travel limit may need adjustment. Check the sensor lens, then call us.
Can I fit a smart opener?
Many openers can link to a phone app or a smart home hub. Tell us what you use.
Should I adjust the springs myself?
No. Springs hold heavy tension and are a job for trained technicians.
