ABOUT ELECTRIC GARAGE DOORS

Electric garage door openers are normally remote controlled, so that garage doors can be opened and closed from within the car. They may be fitted with a new garage door, or can be retro-fitted to existing garage doors. Some types are sufficiently simple to be fitted by the end user on a DIY basis; others require professional installation. The type of electric garage door opener that is required will depend on whether the garage door is of the canopy, retractable, side-hinged, sectional or roller type.

The leading UK suppliers of electric garage doors, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive and informative websites on garage door openers, with models, prices, and advice on installation and maintenance.
