Looking to upgrade your garage with the latest in security, convenience and style?

Whether you’re building a new home or replacing an existing door, our range of automated options offers seamless operation, enhanced safety, and a modern finish to any property.


What Are Automated Garage Doors?
Automated garage doors—also known as electric or motorised garage doors—use a powered mechanism to open and close your garage door with ease. Operated by remote control, wall switch, smartphone app or smart home integration, these systems eliminate the need for manual lifting. Most models include built-in safety features, such as obstruction detection, emergency release, and auto-locking.
At 247 Garage Doors, we work with leading manufacturers such as Gliderol and JDUK Door Systems, ensuring that every automated garage door we install is reliable, durable, and built to the highest industry standards.
Benefits of Automated Garage Doors
Upgrading to an automatic garage door brings a host of benefits:
1. Convenience at Your Fingertips
Gone are the days of stepping out of your car in the rain to lift a heavy garage door. With remote access, you can operate your garage door from the comfort of your vehicle or home.
2. Enhanced Security
Automated garage doors come with secure locking mechanisms that engage automatically once the door closes, helping to deter burglars and safeguard your property.
3. Energy Efficiency
Many automatic doors are insulated, reducing heat loss from your garage. This can help improve overall energy efficiency, particularly if your garage is attached to your home.
4. Increased Property Value
A sleek, modern garage door can boost the kerb appeal of your home and even add value to your property.
5. Customisable Options
Choose from a wide range of colours, materials, finishes, and configurations—including roller, sectional, and up-and-over styles—to perfectly match your home’s aesthetics.
Types of Automated Garage Doors We Offer
We supply and install several styles of automated garage doors to suit every type of property:
✔ Roller Garage Doors
Roll vertically into a compact box, saving space on your driveway and inside the garage. Ideal for homes with limited space.
✔ Sectional Garage Doors

✔ Up-and-Over Garage Doors
A classic single-panel design that lifts as a whole. Can be automated using a quality motor system.
