Garage doors in Torrevieja

Torrevieja has the sea on one side and the salt lagoons of La Mata and Torrevieja on the other, and few metal doors in the province work in such a salt-laden environment. The town centre, around the port and the seafront promenade, is full of apartment blocks with underground community garages and ground-floor premises with roller shutters. From the late sixties onwards, urbanisations such as Los Balcones, La Torreta, El Chaparral and Aguas Nuevas grew up around it, with bungalows, townhouses and villas on small plots, and to the north lies La Mata, right by the beach and the lagoons nature park.

That salt explains many of the breakdowns we see here: springs and cables that corrode and snap before their time, bolts swollen with rust, tracks that no longer run smoothly and motor control boards that fail because of the damp. Many homes are also second residences that stay shut for months; when the owners return, the door has seized, the remote control battery is flat or nobody knows where the spare went. In the basements of residential complexes, the torrential gota fría rains leave water and mud on the ramp and in the motor, and in the houses closest to the beach, sand builds up in the tracks of sliding gates.

That is why in Torrevieja we work with aluminium and galvanised, powder-coated steel, stainless steel fixings, protected control panels and well-sealed motors, and we recommend app-controlled opening to anyone who spends long periods away or rents out their home. For the communities in the centre and La Torreta, we suggest servicing before and after the summer, when the population multiplies and the garage door opens at all hours.

We set out from our base on the Las Atalayas industrial estate in Elche, with our own team and no subcontractors: we measure the opening, give you a quote, make the door to measure and fit it ourselves. For breakdowns we also travel to the urbanisations furthest from the centre, such as Los Altos and Torreblanca.
