Garage Door Solutions (VIC)

What Garage Door Solutions (VIC) does

Garage Door Solutions (VIC) is a family-owned trade services business founded in 1962 by the Frank Van Den Broek family, headquartered at 23 Canterbury Road, Braeside, Victoria, Australia. The company supplies, installs, repairs, and maintains residential and commercial garage door systems and automated openers, operating across South East Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, the Dandenongs, South and West Gippsland, and surrounding bayside and south-eastern suburbs. Its product range spans roller, sectional, tilt, and insulated garage doors, alongside openers and accessories distributed under authorised dealer relationships with B&D, Merlin (Chamberlain Group), Steel-Line, Grifco (Chamberlain Group), SOMMER, and ATA. Commercial work extends to high-cycle industrial automation, strata buildings, warehouses, and facilities requiring BMS, fire-control, and RFID integration.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business field sales model: customers engage via a toll-free line, local Braeside number, website quote form, or in-person showroom visit, after which the company conducts a free on-site measure-and-quote and executes installation using its own trained technicians. Revenue is generated through one-off product sales (doors and openers), installation labour (backed by a 10-year installation labour guarantee), ongoing service & repair across all major brands, and ancillary services such as carport conversions and custom door design. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no external funding, no disclosed headcount, and no institutional ownership; it is a member of the Australian Garage Door Association, Housing Industry Association, and International Door Association.
