Garage Door Installation: Getting the right garage door is only half the equation—professional installation is what ensures it performs reliably, looks flawless, and lasts for decades. At Garage Door Solutions (Vic), we’ve been helping homeowners across South East Melbourne and beyond secure their homes with expertly installed garage doors since 1962.
We combine premium products with exceptional craftsmanship, ensuring every door we install meets the highest standards for safety, convenience, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you’re upgrading an old door or installing one for a new build, our experienced team will guide you every step of the way.
Why Garage Door Installation Matters
Installation is arguably the most critical part of owning a garage door. An improperly installed door can lead to frequent breakdowns, safety risks, increased energy bills, and expensive repairs down the line.
Unfortunately, garage door installation is not a regulated trade in Australia—anyone can claim to be an installer. That’s why it’s crucial to work with qualified professionals who can guarantee their workmanship and back it up with real-world experience.
At Garage Door Solutions, we’re proud to offer a 10-Year Installation Labour Guarantee, providing homeowners peace of mind that their investment is protected.

Types of Garage Doors We Professionally Install
We install a wide variety of garage door styles to match the needs of every homeowner and property type.
1. Roller Garage Doors
Simple, secure, and space-saving. Roller doors are perfect for garages with minimal headroom and are a popular choice for both single and double garages. Built from durable steel, these doors roll neatly into a compact drum above the opening.
Ideal for:
- Homes with limited ceiling space
- Driveways with steep inclines
- Renovation projects or new builds
2. Tilt Garage Doors
Tilt garage doors consist of a single solid panel that tilts outward and upward. Known for their flexibility in design and low space requirements, tilt doors are great for architecturally unique homes.
Why homeowners love them:
- Highly customizable façade options
- Minimal internal space required
- Compatible with heavier materials like timber or composite
3. Sectional Garage Doors (Panel Lift/Up-and-Over)
Sectional doors—also referred to as panel lift, overhead, or sliding garage doors—are the modern standard for residential garages. Composed of multiple horizontal panels, these doors move vertically and curve along tracks to sit parallel with the garage ceiling.
Benefits include:
- Quiet operation
- High insulation potential
- Window and design customisation
- Secure multi-panel structure
Customisation & Made-to-Measure Installation
Every home is different, which is why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our made-to-measure garage doors are crafted in precise increments to ensure a flawless fit and long-term reliability.
We work closely with homeowners and builders to ensure the new garage door suits the property’s:
- Width and height restrictions
- Aesthetic preferences
- Colour palette
- Garage wall/ceiling structure
- Security and insulation needs
Choose from a wide range of finishes, colours, materials (steel, aluminium, timber-look, composite), and profile types to suit traditional or contemporary architecture.
Our Garage Door Installation Process
We take pride in a seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish:
Step 1: Site Inspection & Consultation
We begin with a detailed site inspection to assess your garage’s structure, measure dimensions accurately, and identify any challenges. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and explore different door options.
Step 2: Product Selection & Proposal
Once we understand your needs, we provide a detailed proposal including product recommendations, material choices, accessories, pricing, and timeframes.
Step 3: Custom Manufacturing
Your door is custom-built by one of our trusted Australian suppliers, such as B&D, Steel-Line, or Danmar, ensuring a perfect match with your property’s requirements.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our qualified technicians carry out the installation with precision and care. We also test all safety features, perform opener setup, and ensure smooth operation before we leave.
Step 5: After-Sales Support
We provide post-installation servicing, product manuals, and full support for remote programming, smartphone connectivity, and maintenance.
Your garage door is only as good as the opener that controls it. We supply and install a wide range of accessories for automation, safety, and convenience.
Popular Accessories:
- Keyring and wall-mount remotes
- Wireless or keypad entry systems
- Backup battery systems
- Safety beams and motion sensors

FAQs – Garage Doors Installation
How long does a garage door installation take?
Most installations are completed within 3–5 hours, but this may vary depending on the complexity of the project and the type of door.
Can I replace just the garage door and keep my existing opener?
In some cases, yes. If your opener is compatible with the new door and still functioning reliably, it may not need replacing.
Do you remove my old garage door?
Yes, our team will safely remove and dispose of your old garage door as part of our standard service.
How do I maintain my new garage door?
Regular visual inspections, lubrication of moving parts, and annual servicing by a technician will ensure longevity and reliability.
Are custom colours and finishes available?
Absolutely. We offer doors in a wide range of Colorbond colours and even timber-look or custom powder-coated finishes.
What’s the best type of garage door for windy or coastal areas?
We recommend wind-rated sectional or roller doors with corrosion-resistant finishes for homes in exposed areas.
Can I automate a manually operated garage door?
Yes. Most existing garage doors can be upgraded with an automatic opener. We’ll assess your door and recommend the right system.
What happens if my garage door hits something while closing?
Modern openers come with safety reverse features. If an obstruction is detected, the door will stop and reverse automatically.
Can I control my garage door from my phone?
Yes. Openers like Merlin and SOMMER support smart connectivity so you can operate the door from anywhere via an app.
Is a permit required for garage door installation?
In most residential settings, no permit is needed. However, we can advise if local council approval is required for complex builds.
