Door Types

During our initial visit to your property we will discuss with you what type of door you would like to buy, whether it be a roller door, sectional or tilt, as well as whether you require an automatic door for convenience. Here are the differences in these doors:

Roller Garage Door

The roller garage door is made out of colorbond, ribbed curtain that moves vertically in the opening, and then rolls up around the drum above the opening, guided by tracks and counterbalanced with springs. Nylon running strips ensure smooth, quiet and greaseless operation. The engineering grade plastic drum ensures for precise roll-up. Weather-strip with deep cushioning, helps restrict entry of water and leaves. Waist height centre lift lock with double bar locking action.

Sectional Garage Door

This garage door rolls back up thanks to horizontal panels that are hinged and roll over tracks and place the panels against the ceiling when the door is open. These are considered safer and stronger than the Tilt doors.

Tilt Garage Door

This type of garage door rotates out and upward in one motion. These tend to be the least expensive option and need to be clear of surrounding objects that may prevent it opening easily.

All doors can use automatic openers.

You tell us what your budget is and we will work with it. PT Doors also understands that your lifestyle can also play a part in your decision such as families who have people coming and going at all times of the day and night tend to prefer garage doors with extremely quiet openers. It all adds up for our desire to make sure you have the best door for your needs.
