Looking for the best garage doors in Perth?

Garage doors in Perth come in many different shapes and sizes. Their functions can also range widely, from being a cosmetic concealment all the way to a form of security. Most of the time, they can be categorised into a few simple styles, including Roller Doors, Sectional Doors and Custom Garage Doors, with some more common for residential or commercial use.

Commonly used garage doors in Perth for residential areas include Roller Doors and Sectional Doors. Both types of garage doors come in a wide variety of colours, styles, materials and finishes, which aim to improve security, safety and convenience, and enhance the overall look of a home.

Roller doors are typically remembered as those annoying manually operated doors that require you to get out of your car to open. Thankfully, there are now many customisable features and configurations to transform it into a fully automatic garage door. There’s also a wide range of colours, appearances and materials as well as the option to add insulation. Roller door residential applications include sheds, garage doors and carports.

Sectional garage doors are made using several large horizontal panels hinged together that slide along tracks with the ceiling overhead, as the door opens and closes. These motorised garage doors are pleasantly convenient and work really well with modern and new home styles that are going for a sophisticated clean look. There is also the option of choosing a ‘wood-look’ steel garage door if you desire a classic timber finish.

The need for added security and functionality will often dictate the design of commercial garage doors. They are commonly manufactured in a ‘roll up style’, where industrial rollers are made from durable materials built to protect against forced entry. Other common installations for commercial purposes can include light weight aluminium sectional doors. These automatic garage doors are suitable for closing an area off that is already secured, rather than providing a primary point of security/entry.

At Gryphon, we understand the need to keep valuable items and machinery inside the facility as safe and secure as possible. All our commercial roller doors and industrial roller shutters are manufactured from superior quality materials to give you much needed functionality and security for your factory or warehouse.

Safety concerns with overhead tilt models were most common in the past, primarily due to the springs’ lack of efficiency that was responsible for balancing the door’s weight. Overtime, without sufficient inspection and servicing, the springs would begin to rust and weaken, losing strength and durability. This caused springs to break unexpectedly, launching the spring’s metal fragments in every direction, causing damage to vehicles, garage walls and belongings.

Despite manufacturers implementing protective cages to surround and strengthen the springs, they weren’t completely effective. The safety and condition of these garage parts are still highly questionable, so if you’re still operating a tilt-spring garage door, we recommend contacting Gryphon for a maintenance inspection.

Don’t try to fix it yourself. Garage door springs hold a huge amount of tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. Call a qualified technician: at Gryphon we’ll inspect the door and repair or replace the springs. For older tilt doors, we may recommend upgrading to a safer torsion spring system, where the spring is wound around a steel shaft above the opening so it stays contained if it ever breaks.

A torsion spring system is much safer than the old exposed tilt-door springs. Because the spring sits on a steel shaft, it stays in place if it breaks instead of sending fragments flying, and the door’s weight is balanced more evenly. Properly installed and serviced, it also runs more smoothly and lasts longer.

Yes, as long as it’s installed or repaired by a qualified professional and serviced regularly. Torsion springs carry a warning label because they’re dangerous to adjust or even touch without training. If that label is damaged or missing, ask us to replace it.

A garage door that’s out of balance puts extra strain on the motor and can be dangerous for anyone using it. Because the door’s weight is hard to judge, springs, cables, tracks and hinges should only be checked and adjusted by a trained technician. Book a regular Gryphon service to keep your door running safely.

Nothing is more convenient than being able to open your garage door at the touch of a button, especially after a hard day at work, or when it’s raining. At Gryphon we can retrofit and install automatic openers with remote control openers that let you park your car without having to get out and open the door.

The difference between the roller doors and sectional garage doors is simple. It’s the way the panels move as the roller door slides up and tucks away. Speak to one of our friendly reps to help you decide if a roller door is what you’re looking for or something different.
