How long will a new garage door last for?

Over the years, we have made 3 million doors and many are still going strong decades after installation. There are a few simple steps which you can take to help prolong the life of your door - these can be found under the 'guarantee' section of this site

If I buy a new door, how do I dispose of the old one?

The installer should take the old door away. Check before you place your order with them. We are able to recommend a professional supplier and installer for you, based on your postcode. Simply go to the 'Ask an Expert section and click on 'find a distributor'

Why are there so many different types of door?

There are three types of garage doors available - up and over, roller and sectional. Each type offers its own benefits. One-piece doors are traditionally the most popular type of door, offering excellent value for money and a choice of steel. glass reinforced polyester (GRP) or natural timber construction. Roller and sectional doors are growing in popularity, particularly because they open and close without the arc of travel of a one-piece door. This is ideal for a property with a short driveway or garage as you can park right up to the door itself. Sectional and insulated roller doors also offer the benefit of added insulation - particularly useful if there is a room above the garage or if it is used as a workshop

How do I know the size of door I need?

There is a Henderson garage door to suit almost all domestic garage openings from 6ft to 16ft wide and 6ft to 10ft high, with a wide range of standard sizes and made to measure options. Your Henderson supplier will measure and recommend the right size of door for you. A brief explanation of how to measure for each type of door is shown in the 'Sizing' section of this website.
