Can double garage doors be altered

Can double garage doors be altered to remove the central pillar?

We are often asked to alter double garage doors to remove the central pillar, something that very few door fitters are willing to take on.

It can be done, but it depends very much on the garage construction and we usually employ builders to ensure it can be done correctly and will be structurally sound.

Fitting does depend on what the doors are sitting on and the type of existing doors.

Either way it can be done, although the modifications will depend on the original construction.

Fortunately, we have a good, experienced team of builders who can carry out our work.

The most economical doors are the curtain-only doors which very basic and are really only suitable for stand-alone garages where there is no access from the garage into your home and where any items you may store in your garage are not valuable.

These doors have no safety edge and are very thin and therefore less secure than the others in our range.

However, they are particularly popular with those who are on lower incomes.

Having said that, with the basic doors, as with our more high-end doors, you can choose from a range of 15 Rail colours but we can match colours to your requirements if none of the Rail colours suit. This will add a little to the production time of course.
