Our DIY roller garage doors are ideal for Hackney homeowners who are confident using basic tools and happy to handle a self-install project. That said, we don’t recommend doing it entirely alone. Although the installation is straightforward, having a second person available-especially for measuring and positioning-makes the job much safer and more accurate. For instance, when taking horizontal measurements of your garage opening, a second pair of hands will help ensure precision and make achieving a perfect fit far easier.
On installation day, teamwork is essential. Lifting, aligning, and securing the door into place requires coordination, and attempting the job solo isn’t advised. Most installations take around 4-6 hours and only require standard tools such as a drill/driver bit, fixings, and a step ladder. Prepare all tools in advance to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. With our detailed instructions and helpful video guides, you’ll have everything you need to install your TWF garage door with confidence.
You’ll need to measure the width, height, and available headroom of your garage opening. Our online measuring guide provides full instructions and clear visual examples. You can also refer to our DIY order form, which outlines all required measurements. Just click the “Garage Door Builder” button on our menu to begin.
