Enhance Your Home With a Tilt Garage Door
PDS Garage Doors designs, manufactures, installs, repairs, and services custom-made garage doors for residential, commercial, and industrial properties in Melbourne. Our range includes tilt garage doors to extend the options you have when it comes to choosing a garage for your property.
Tilt doors are a one-piece unit perfect for older homes in Melbourne that don’t have enough space at the sides for a roller door or a sectional door. A tilt-up garage door opener is also ideal for car parks in commercial or industrial buildings with restricted headroom, as the door opens upwards and outwards until it rests flat against the garage ceiling in a horizontal position.
If you’re looking for a garage door that suits an area with limited ceiling space, a tilt door may be the right choice for you. With our customisable options, we can develop and install a tilt garage door that meets your needs and assists with improving the security and street appeal of your property.

Tilt Door Cladding Frames
PDS Garage Doors specialise in manufacturing tilt door frames ready for cladding with any type of material to suit the façade of your home. We install the door frame, hardware and motor ready for the builder to install the cladding.
Tilt Door Installation Types
Behind the head installation
Tilt door jambs are installed behind the opening and the door is installed set back from the opening allowing for any type of cladding to be installed to match the property.
Flush mount installation
Tilt door jambs are installed in the opening and the door is installed flush with the façade of the property allowing for matching cladding to be installed to the door and property façade, this allows for a seamless look.
Tilt Door Clearances
Tilt doors provide the tightest fit in the opening using minimal side and head room. Standard tilt doors require as little as 150mm head room and 100mm side room making these doors perfect for tight space openings.
Cladding Weights
Standard tilt door hardware is rated to 175kg in total weight whilst newer HULK Hardware (https://hulkhardware.com.au/) on the market is rated at 285kg in total weight making the cladding options endless. Simply contact PDS Garage Doors with your opening sizes and we can calculate your frame and cladding weight allowances.

Tilt Garage Doors Melbourne Frequently Asked Questions
Tilt doors’ movement involves swinging outwards and upwards with the use of a hinged cradle that involves pivoting arms, which are typically counterbalanced by springs.
Because tilt doors generally have fewer parts, their maintenance and repair can be less frequently required. They do require monitoring for factors such as corrosion and physical damage, as do most garage doors. The springs should be tended to reduce the risk of injury in the case of deformities. We recommend that your tilt door be serviced and inspected every 12-18 months to maintain optimum performance, product longevity and safe operation.
As tilt doors do not roll up or separate and consist of a rigid panel, they must swing forward as they move upward. This means there does need to be a certain amount of room in front of the entry point.
