Q1) How do you know what size your new automated garage door needs to be?
First, measure the frame (that’s the opening of your garage, not your current garage door itself). This will give you the height and width of your new automated garage door. You’ll also need to measure the height of your garage from floor to ceiling too, as this will be required to ensure that there is adequate room for the motor to fit inside your garage.
The specific type of automated garage door that you choose will determine whether you have enough space inside your garage to fit everything in, as tracks, rollers, and other opening mechanisms have differing spatial requirements.
Q2) Should you install a new garage side door at the same time as your new automated garage door?
Yes, the perfect time to install a new garage side door is at the same time that you install an automated garage door. This ensures the two doors match each other perfectly, and that security features are complementary to one another. It’s also more efficient for a professional to install both doors at the same time too, which means you’ll be more likely to benefit from a special deal from your garage door installation specialist.
Q3) How closely can garage side doors & automated garage door be made to each other?

You have the option for them both to be made from the same materials, with the same design aesthetic and colours. You can also choose matching hardware and accessories to ensure a very consistent and uniform look for your property.
