1. Measure and Get Free Quote
Work out whether your site is ready for a measure and quote. It is important that you have a garage door dealer visit your home and measure up your door opening this is the only way to get an accurate quote.It is not recommended that you do your own measure up for your door.

2. Find your nearest a garage door dealer
Once your site is ready, you need to find a garage door dealer. Most manufacturers have the accredited garage door dealers across the country. All you need to do is to visit the manufacture site and find the dealer if there is any tool to let you find one.
3. Do your own research
Do some research, before your dealer turns up. There are a range of different types of garage doors, as well as different styles of garage door openers and other accessories available. Not all doors will suit your garage or carport, but your garage door dealer will be able to advise you on this, once they are on site. Before they come to you site, you need to have the following 3 things in your mind:
What type of door do I like?
What opener will suit my home and lifestyle?
What about accessories?
4. Compare the quotes
Double check any comparison quotes. If you choose to get quotes from multiple dealers, and you notice a price difference between them, make sure you question them, to be sure you are comparing apples with apples.
One of the biggest different is in the warranty. Ask the dealer how many years is the warranty for? Is it on-site repair or back to base? Does the warranty cover the whole opener and installation, or is it only the motor?
5. Enjoy your door
Enjoy your new door and opener once your door is installed enjoy! Should you have any concerns after installation, your first point of call should be the dealer who installed the door.
