Tilt garage doors operate as a single solid panel that swings up and over to open. They’re a cost-effective solution that suits many older homes and garages with limited side or ceiling space. The mechanism uses pivot arms or springs to lift the door. This simple design makes tilt doors easy to maintain and install, especially where minimal parts are preferred.
Because the entire door swings outward during operation, you’ll need space in front of the garage for clearance. This limits use on very short driveways or steep inclines.
Tilt doors are typically made from steel, plywood, or composite boards. While not always as flexible in design as sectional options, they offer strong performance and visual uniformity.
Consider a tilt door if your garage setup prioritises durability and ease of use over automation or ceiling storage. Check that driveway space allows full movement before finalising your plan.
