You can buy anything from the internet and have it delivered to your door – including garage doors. Garage doors are an investment for your home, so it is vitally importance that you are careful when buying garage doors online.
To make the task easier and safer, we’ve have compiled a list of the top things that you should be aware of when you are buying garage doors online …
Overly Cheap Garage Doors Online
Be aware of overly cheap electric roller shutter doors – you will immediately regret your purchase when the door ceases to function due to component failure! A roller door contains many small moving parts and a cheap, poorly constructed roller door won’t last very long. Additionally, very low priced timber garage doors are cheap for one reason only – the timber used is a low quality softwood with excessive knots and a high risk of splitting, meaning it warps and cracks apart quickly.
Check the Seller
When buying from any website, always check their address and contact details and ensure that the company is bona fide. If there’s not, there must be something to hide!
No address? Do not place your order! As a consumer, this lack of a tangible identity should immediately be a warning to you.
Garage Doors Online at Ebay
Watch out for Ebay offers… they are never quite as they seem unless there is a specific offer for a unique branded product that is in stock and as described with a fixed price.
Check Your Order
Make sure you check and order the right sizes – many sizes do not necessarily refer to the sizes you think they do! Many garage doors have factory fitted sub frames and these may or may not be included in the ordering sizes.
Specification
Get the specification you need as some required parts may not be able to be retrofitted. If in doubt, call the company and discuss the specification to ensure it does what you need it to do with suitable emergency overrides included.
Finishing
Whenever possible, always pay for factory finishing as it will be a lot cheaper than trying to paint or stain the door yourself. This will also guarantee a better warranty in most cases.
