Benefits of Double Garage Door Conversions

A double garage door conversion offers numerous benefits, enhancing accessibility, functionality, and the aesthetic appeal of your property. Embracing a double garage door conversion can transform your garage into a versatile space that meets your needs while adding value to your home.

A double garage door conversion comes with numerous advantages that go beyond just convenience:

Increased Space: Removing the central pier provides easier access for larger vehicles.
Modern Look: Creates a streamlined, contemporary appearance.
Improved Functionality: Simplifies parking and reduces the need to operate two doors.
Enhanced Security: One solid door with modern security features can offer better protection.
Energy Efficiency: One large, insulated door improves thermal performance compared to two single doors.

A double garage door conversion not only enhances the practicality and security of your garage but also contributes to the overall aesthetics of your home. Investing in a double garage door conversion is a smart choice that can elevate your property’s value and make your daily routines easier.

Double Garage Door Conversion Process

Step 1

Inspection / Assessment

The process begins with an inspection of your garage to assess its structural integrity and determine the most suitable conversion approach.

Step 2

Removal of Old Doors

The existing single garage doors and their frames are carefully removed to prepare for the new double door.

Step 3

Support the Structure

Before any structural alterations, we temporarily support the roof and walls to ensure stability during the conversion process.

Step 4

Removal of the Central Pier

With temporary supports in place, the central pier is removed to create a wider opening.

Step 5

RSJ Lintel Installation

An RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) lintel is installed to replace the central pier, ensuring essential structural support for the expanded garage door opening.

Step 6

Installation of New Double Sized Door

The new double garage door is then installed, complete with any desired automation features, and rigorously tested for smooth operation.
