Is Garador the right choice?
How Garador compares.
We are independent. We fit a carefully chosen range of garage door and front door brands. Garador is one of them, and it suits a specific kind of property and budget. Here is when we recommend Garador, and when we would steer you elsewhere.
When we recommend Garador
UK manufactured, ten year guarantee, Guardian LPCB Level 1 security. A strong default for traditional UK homes and conservation contexts.
When another brand might suit better
For continental aesthetic or aluminium specifically, Ryterna or Hörmann would suit better. For a maximum warranty stretch on the operator, Hörmann SupraMatic.

FAQ
Common questions about Garador.
- Can you automate my existing door?
- It depends on your door type. We can automate existing up-and-over doors by fitting an electric operator. For sectional and roller doors we can replace or upgrade the motor operator. Side-hinged doors cannot be automated, the mechanism does not support electric operation. Call us and we will confirm what is possible for your specific door.
- Do you install front doors too?
- Yes, Comp Door composite front doors and Ryterna aluminium front doors. Many customers match a new front door to a new garage door.
- Do you offer finance?
- Yes, through Ideal4Finance. Typical plans are 0% over 12 months on installs over £2,000.
- Do you remove the old door?
- Yes, every quote includes removal and ethical disposal of your existing door. We recycle the steel and aluminium where possible.
- How long does a typical garage door installation take?
- A standard replacement (sectional or up-and-over) takes around 4-6 hours on a single visit. Roller doors with full automation can be 6-8 hours. Side-hinged with frame replacement is usually a full day.
