Tilt and Counterweight Garage Doors

Premium Tilt & Counterweight Garage Doors – Customised for Your Home

At RJ Garage Doors, we specialise in crafting high-quality, Australian-made tilt and counterweight garage doors, designed to provide a sleek and functional solution for residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re looking for a tilt garage door for your home or a counterweight garage door for a larger architectural project, our expert team ensures every door is built to match your unique design vision and performance needs.

How Does a Tilt Garage Door Work?

A tilt garage door operates as a single panel that moves vertically and pivots outward before resting parallel to the ceiling when fully opened. This space-saving design makes it an excellent choice for homes with limited headroom or where a seamless architectural appearance is desired.

A counterweight garage door, on the other hand, uses a precision-engineered weight system to ensure smooth and effortless operation. This is ideal for larger, heavier doors or those clad in specialty materials, as the counterweight balances the door’s weight for a reliable, durable solution.

Benefits of Tilt & Counterweight Garage Doors

  • Customisable Design: Choose from a wide range of materials, including cladding garage doors for a modern, architecturally integrated look.
  • Space-Saving Operation: Ideal for garages with limited ceiling space or architectural constraints.
  • Durable and Reliable: Designed to withstand Australian conditions with premium materials and expert craftsmanship.
  • Flush Mount Garage Door Option: Achieve a seamless finish with flush mount garage doors that blend effortlessly with the exterior façade.
  • Enhanced Automation: Our tilt and counterweight doors can be integrated with state-of-the-art garage door automation for convenience and security.

Customisation & Cladding Options

One of the key advantages of tilt and counterweight garage doors is their ability to accommodate various cladding options to match your home’s style. Whether you prefer a bold statement or a subtle, integrated look, our expert team can design the door frame and system to support different materials such as:

  • Timber panels
  • Aluminium composite panels
  • Steel sheeting
  • Glass and acrylic finishes
  • Custom architectural finishes

Our engineers work closely with you to ensure the structural integrity of the frame while maintaining aesthetic appeal and functionality.

How to Adjust a Tilt-Up Garage Door?

If you need to make adjustments to your tilt garage door, it’s important to ensure that:

  • The springs and pivot arms are properly balanced.
  • The door moves smoothly without resistance.
  • Any tension adjustments are made by a professional to avoid damage or safety risks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tilt & Counterweight Garage Doors

What is the difference between a tilt garage door and a counterweight garage door?

A tilt garage door operates as a single panel that pivots outward and moves upwards, resting parallel to the ceiling when open. A counterweight garage door, on the other hand, uses a weighted balancing system to ensure smooth, effortless operation—making it ideal for heavier materials and architectural designs.

Are tilt garage doors suitable for all garage sizes?

Yes! Tilt garage doors are a great option for garages with limited ceiling space where a sectional or roller door may not fit. Our experts can customise the size and mechanism to fit your garage’s dimensions.

What kind of options are available with Custom Tilt & Counterweight Garage Doors?

The RJ Garage Doors Team have worked with builders, home owners and architects to achieve a wide range of designs of completely customised tilt and counterweight garage doors!
We will discuss with you your functional needs as well as your design wants, so that our team can provide you with a variety of quote options. While occasionally a design isn't achieved to still remain functional, the RJ Garage Doors Team will still find a garage door solution for you.

Do we have these doors in stock?

We don't keep any styles in stock as each one of these doors has been custom for each client.
This is achieved through collaboration with builders, architects and home owners who have a design in mind and we help them achieve that end result.

What information is needed to quote a custom product?

When discussing a custom Garage Door or Gate there is a range of information that can help us give your the most accurate information and costing.
This includes any style you're looking at, possibly cladding options, the size (height and width) of the garage opening and the average use of the garage door.
We can help you through the process to, but these details can help us in the earlier stages and we will then work with you to collect more information and narrow down as specific quote or option for you!

What type of Cladding can go on a Tilt or Counterweight Garage Door?

The biggest factor that will influence the garage door design is the weight of the material as the heavier the cladding is, can influence the structural design and hardware needed. Some common types of materials RJ Garage Doors seen are Ply Doors with Custom Mouldings, Wooden Battens, Red Cedar Wood, Patterned Perforated Steel and ColorBond steel.

How do I adjust a tilt garage door if it becomes difficult to open?

If your tilt garage door is becoming hard to open or close, it may need a spring tension adjustment. However, adjusting a tilt-up garage door requires care—improper adjustments can cause safety risks. We recommend professional servicing to ensure smooth and safe operation.

Can tilt garage doors be automated?

Yes! We offer garage door automation solutions that integrate with tilt and counterweight doors for enhanced security and convenience. Our automation systems work with smartphone apps, remote controls, and keyless entry options.
