Ace Garage Doors supplies and installs electric garage doors across Sydney's Northern Beaches and North Shore. Whether you want a complete new door with motor included, or you want to automate your existing manual door, we handle it all. Professional installation, quality brands, and local service from a team that's been doing this for 25 years.

WHY GO ELECTRIC

Convenience

Press a button in your car and drive straight in. No getting out in bad weather. No struggling with heavy doors. No running back to close it when you're already late. Modern motors are reliable, quiet, and fast.

Security

Electric doors lock automatically when closed. Rolling code technology means remotes can't be copied by thieves scanning frequencies. Some systems alert your phone if the door is opened unexpectedly. Your garage stays secure without you having to think about it.

Safety

Modern motors include obstruction sensing. If something is in the way when the door closes, it automatically reverses. Essential safety feature for families with kids, pets, or anyone who's had a close call with a closing door.

Smart Home Integration

Premium motors connect to your smartphone. Check whether the door is open or closed from anywhere. Open it remotely for a delivery driver. Set schedules. Integrate with your home automation system. The garage door becomes part of your connected home.

YOUR OPTIONS

New Electric Garage Door

If you're replacing an old door or building new, we supply and install complete electric garage door packages. Includes the door, motor, remotes and professional installation. Choose from roller, sectional or tilt styles in various colours and finishes.

Automate Your Existing Door

If your current door is in good condition, we can usually fit a motor to automate it. We assess the door's structure to ensure it's suitable, then install the motor and program your remotes—a cost-effective way to get electric operation without replacing the entire door.

Motor Upgrade or Replacement

If your existing motor is noisy, unreliable or lacking modern features, we can replace it with a newer unit. Quieter operation, better security features, smart connectivity. Keep your existing door, upgrade the automation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



Q: Can any garage door be automated?

A: Most doors can be automated, but we need to assess the door's condition and structure first. Very old or damaged doors may not be suitable. Scott will advise during the quote.

Q: What happens during a power outage?

A: All electric doors have a manual release that allows you to open the door by hand during power failures. Some motors also have battery backup options that keep them operating during outages.

Q: How long do motors last?

A: Quality motors from reputable brands typically last 10-15 years with normal residential use. Regular servicing can extend this further.

Q: Are electric doors noisy?

A: Modern belt-drive motors are very quiet. Chain-drive motors are a bit noisier but still acceptable for most homes. We can recommend the best option based on your situation and budget.
