Garage door service built for Surry Hills

Surry Hills was subdivided before cars existed, so almost every garage here is a retrofit into a rear lane or a converted ground-floor room. Headroom is the constant: a great many openings are under 2.4m, which rules out a lot of standard sectional installs and their tracking, and pushes the job towards a tilt door, a low-headroom conversion kit, or a roller door with a compact barrel. Much of the suburb also sits inside a heritage conservation area, where a street-facing door change is neither exempt nor complying development and needs council consent before anyone opens a catalogue.

Sydney's weather works on garage doors in less obvious ways than the coast does. Summer storms and east coast lows drive rain against doors that face the weather, humidity works into the mechanism, and the temperature swing between a closed garage in February and the same garage in July moves every component slightly. None of it is dramatic, and all of it accumulates in the springs, the rollers and the seals.
