How Long Do Roller Garage Doors Last?
A good quality, double skinned aluminum roller door should last anywhere between 10 - 20 years if looked after during that period as well. The number of daily operations, size and exposure to high winds or harsh UV rays can affect that of course.
With a good quality electric motor, recognised control and safety components and good quality curtain slats even with some surface damage, wear and tear, the roller door should continue to work well for many years..
Cheap aluminium roller garage doors can last as little as 12 months simply because there are so many moving parts that is any or all the parts are of a low quality the door will destroy itself in a short period of time. Also, low quality thinner curtain slats will not withstand strong winds or daily knocks and blows and fail fast..
