TRUSTED LOCAL EXPERTS FOR QUALITY GARAGE DOORS

It’s horses for courses here. If you’re still planning to put the car in, then an Up and Over or Roller may be the right one. If the garage is not really a garage anymore, then maybe a side hinge is the correct choice, as it allows you to get in and out without opening the full width of the doorway. This solution can be perfect for home offices or gyms.

If the garage is built into the house with doors that open into the home or rooms above, then insulation is key. Our range of sectional doors provides impressive levels of weather protection. If security is the key point for you, then consider getting extra locking on the door. Some of our side-hinge doors can come with 3-point locking, the Up and Over ranges can be supplemented with 4-point locking, and if you’re after a roller door, we suggest you look at the SWS Original or Excel.

Yes, we do. We offer a free, no-obligation quote. If you are able to specify rough sizes and specifications, we can do this over the phone or email, but if we are going to be fitting the door, we will want to come to the site to measure the door.

On a new build, we understand that timeframes can be tight, so to measure a door properly, we will need to know the width and height of the opening, details of the space around the doorway, an idea of the finished floor height and the amount of headroom available.

We are open from 8:30 am to 4.30 pm Monday to Thursday and 4 pm on Fridays. Our showroom is in the Newham area of Truro, and we have a variety of our door ranges on display for you to view.

No, don't worry. Some manufacturers work with “standard sizes”, but nearly all models of doors are available in bespoke sizes. There are size limitations, but we will work with what you've got to get the right door for you.

We cover the whole of Cornwall – we even work with customers on the Isles of Scilly.

Yes, we can send you brochures, but to minimise paper usage, we have also uploaded the brochures onto our website at Cornwall Garage Door Centre – Brochures.

We recommend regularly cleaning the tracks with a damp cloth to remove debris and dust. Additionally, applying a high-quality silicone-based lubricant to the rollers, hinges, and springs every few months will keep the mechanism moving quietly and reduce friction. Avoid using heavy grease, as it can actually attract dirt and clog the tracks.

Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) is an excellent choice for coastal areas in Cornwall because it is incredibly resistant to salt air corrosion. Unlike steel, it does not rust, and unlike timber, it will not warp or rot. It is a "set and forget" material that stays looking new with very little upkeep.

In many cases, yes. If your current door is in good structural condition and operates smoothly on its tracks, we can often install a motor and drive system to automate it. This is a great way to add modern convenience to your home without the cost of a full door replacement.

All automatic systems we install come equipped with a manual release mechanism, usually a pull-cord or a keyed bypass. This allows you to disengage the motor and lift the door by hand during a power outage. We always demonstrate how to use this feature during our initial visit, so you are never locked in or out.
