Garage door jobs in Frankston
Frankston has a mix of older homes with tilt and roller doors and newer houses with sectional doors and openers. Whatever yours is, pick the job, whether it is a new door, a replacement, a motor or a repair, and a door specialist who covers Frankston takes it from there.
Living near the bay
Salt water, sand and even sunscreen can corrode a garage door, Steel-Line says, and rust usually shows first on the hinges, springs and tracks. BlueScope advises hosing steel doors down with clean fresh water at least every six months, and more often where sea spray is common.
Around Frankston
Close to the foreshore
Ask about the finish on a new door and how the maker's warranty treats homes near the sea.
Further inland
Steel-Line says homes many kilometres from the coast can still see faster corrosion, so the hose-down is worth doing either way.
Victoria's rules
There is no garage door licence in Victoria; any new power point for an opener is done by a licensed electrician.
A simple care routine near the coast
- Hose down the door, including the top edge that rain misses
- Lubricate the moving parts twice a year, as Steel-Line suggests for coastal homes
- Keep sunscreen off the door's surface
- Never wash the opener itself
What we would do
If you are replacing a door near the bay, ask the door specialist which finish they would pick for your street and why. The answer tells you a lot about how well they know the area.
