Smart Garage Doors: Are They Worth the Upgrade?

by Zap Garage Doors|29 April, 2026

If you’re thinking about upgrading your garage door, smart systems are one of 2026’s biggest industry trends. But, are they worth the investment? 

The addition of new, state of the art technology can unlock a wide range of benefits, particularly in terms of convenience and security. 

However, it’s important to assess these benefits against the associated costs of an upgrade.

In this article, the Zap Garage Door team has provided a detailed summary of smart garage doors and their benefits. This includes a breakdown of what they offer, what they cost, and advice to help you decide whether it’s worth investing in the upgrade for your home.

 

What makes a garage door ‘Smart’?

Smart garage door systems are a technological step-up from existing systems, as they allow you to connect your garage door to your wider home network. This enables you to control the door remotely, and monitor any activity from around the immediate area.

Common features of modern smart garage door systems include: 

  • App control (through a smartphone)
  • Remote opening and closing (which can be done from anywhere)
  • Alerts for real-time activity 
  • Allow you to set up scheduled opening/closing times
  • Integration with other smart home systems (e.g. Alexa)
  • Access logs (allowing you to see exactly when your garage was opened or closed, and who performed the activity)

 

What are the benefits of smart garage door systems? 

Convenience

With a smart garage door system, you can:

  • Open your garage straight from your phone, without the need for a remote
  • Open your garage wherever you are in the house or if you’re in the car
  • Allow deliveries or visitors to enter through the garage while you’re away
  • If you’ve left the house, close it remotely (meaning you don’t have to turn around and drive back)

 

Security

Compared to traditional garage doors, smart garage door systems have significantly higher security standards. 

These systems provide: 

  • Instant alerts if the door is left open
  • Remote monitoring (e.g. while you’re at work or on holiday)
  • Ongoing access tracking
  • The ability to check on and close your door remotely 

 

In some cases, your insurance provider might also provide a discount for the presence of these systems (due to their home security improvements)

 

Home integration

You can quickly and easily integrate your smart garage door with your wider smart home systems, including pairing it with:

  • Smart lighting 
  • Alarms
  • Security cameras 
  • Voice control (e.g. via Alexa or Google Home)

 

What are the costs? 

Firstly, the costs will depend on whether your door requires an upgrade or a full new installation. 

If your current garage door is relatively modern (i.e. is compatible with the technology) and is in good overall condition, you can opt for a smart opener upgrade. This is significantly cheaper. 

If your door is damaged or in generally poor condition, it may be worth investing in an upgrade. 

Alternatively, older or manual doors (if they are still in good overall condition) can be upgraded by adding some structural upgrades or by installing a motor. 

It’s worth speaking to a smart garage door system specialist to get a better sense of your options, and understand what would be the best, most cost-effective solution. 

The typical costs of a smart garage door system are:

  • Full smart garage door installation: £1,000-£3,000.
  • Smart opener upgrade: £150-£500

 

Then, you will also need to consider the ongoing costs. 

While generally these are low, they involve: 

  • A subscription fee for advanced features, such as video integration or cloud storage (these can vary based on the brand that you choose)
  • A stable WiFi connection, which is essential for the system to operate

 

Note that, if your garage door doesn’t currently have a reliable power source and WiFi connection, then the installation costs will likely increase.

 

The overall ROI 

When assessing the investment in a smart garage door system, you need to factor in the long-term value of the upgrade. 

Key points to weigh-up include: 

  • Convenience – And the time you save every day with its improved usage. 
  • Security – With its extra layer of security, particularly in terms of remote security. 
  • Peace of mind – Allowing you to check your home’s security remotely. 
  • Improved home value – As this is an increasingly attractive feature for prospective buyers. 
  • Energy efficiency – Minimising heat loss through the garage. 

 

If you’re interested in learning more about smart garage door systems, the Zap Garage Door team are on hand to help. 

Our fully qualified team of garage door specialists can walk you through the pros and cons of upgrading to a smart garage door system, and help you to determine whether or not the investment is right for you.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish with the workmen going above and beyond and the quality of the doors is exceptional. I would highly recommend Zap Garage doors.
Alex Pavlović
Kyle, Mitch and Danny came to fit a new front door, electrified garage doors and some replacement windows for us near Doncaster, and were really good.

Friendly, professional, made sure we were happy with everything, and even went above and beyond by making a special trip to get cement and fix the holes where our old garage door posts had been after I had mentioned it to them.

Great, old-fashioned customer service that you don't often get these days. Thank you.
Paul Cullen
Had new garage doors fitted. Never thought about side opening ones until the survey. Over the moon with the result. Completely transformed my old garage.
Peter Lazell
Initial survey by Jordan and only a short wait before a professional installation by Kyle and Danny who kindly disposed of our old garage door.
Very happy with this major upgrade to our property and I am happy to recommend this team from Zap Garage Doors at Doncaster.

Abdul Raheem Dawood
Sheffield branch was very professionally installed by Ian Raynor thank you. Unexpectedly our cheapest supply and fit option
Marion Milroy
Finally decided our traditional ‘up and over’ door was no longer secure or weatherproof so booked Zap to replace it with an electric one. We had a socket installed and disabled the old alarm so we were good to go!
The lads arrived on time ( but had to fuss the dogs first so they could get on without lots of barking) and were all done and tidied away in two hours - terrific job would definitely recommend.
Tamara Dickinson
Excellent service from ZAP. Doors are fantastic. Was a bit concerned as the garage is concrete sectional and much larger than most but the effect is brilliant. Very happy.
Andy Booth
Ian turned up at 10am on his own. Lovely chap, polite and courteous and happy to explain anything I I asked.
He did a cracking job and was done by 12, including 2 cups of tea.
The finished job is spot on.
Only wish there were 6 stars.
Tony Clark
We had our new side hinged garage door fitted by lewis and Tommy. Top quality door. The lads were quick, clean, and polite. I would very highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace there old door. Thanks everyone at doncaster branch.
Dan Johnson
Recently got a door installed by Zap at Doncaster, first class service from start to finish, coming to my home explaining options, fitting, after service (there was a scratch on the cover which frankly I wouldn’t have been bothered with but they weren’t happy, they took away and replaced within the week. Great company to do business with wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I had a roller door fitted two weeks ago and I am very pleased with the service and sales person the door looks amazing
Response from the owner:Thankyou
Robert Primhak
I used the Sheffield branch to replace an existing garage door, and was extremely satisfied by their service. Very friendly and helpful office staff, a quote considerably lower than a competitor, and efficient fitting of the new door and mechanism. It needed an adjustment shortly afterwards, which was done without question.
The garage door was subsequently damaged during a break-in and the staff rapidly organised a very effective repair and reinforcement.
Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks Robert
Nick Binns
Highly recommended. Excellent service. We have a Hormann garage door and the remote wasn't working. Hayley from Zap or Chatsworth solved it quickly.
ian wragg
The whole experience from the show room to the survey and installation was first class. Professional and personal in all areas with quality materials at a very reasonable price. Absolutely love the new side hinged garage door that is colour matched to our new doors and windows.

Excellent job from start to finish.
Seamless communication and service throughout.

We would highly recommend their service and with definitely use them again.
Mark Szubanski
Had Zap change my original, old 20+ yr old , up and over garage door, to a pair of fold out doors. Very professional, from coming out to quoting , to the removal and install. Kyle and Ruben did an excellent job. Explained what they would be doing, cleared and tidy up everything, to demonstrating the finished garage. Highly recommended and really good service and prices.
ken oak
We visited Zap doors showroom in Doncaster a few months ago,with lots of working garage doors to view,and extremely helpful staff.
We made an appointment to view our house, and one of the staff arrived exactly on time.
Zap doors sent their fitter Ian yesterday to fit the doors,and what an amazing job he made,so professional and extremely tidy.
The doors look great,and we have no hesitation to recommend this company.
Response from the owner:Thank you Ken

Zap fitted me a new garage door 18 months ago. It began catching a little so they came out within 2 days and fixed the issue without any fuss and did a brilliant job. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Thanks Dave
Robert Pearson
Very helpful people,
After fitting the side opening garage doors and frame, it exposed old paint and the original frame pointing which would have normally be covered with a finishing strip.
However I Preferred to repoint and remove the old paint from the brickwork my self. To which the fitting guys said that’s fine we will return at your convenience and finish the door frame to wall with sealer and make sure I was completely happy with their work before leaving.
Excellent work thanks.
Jill Harrison
Great experience from start to finish. Initially we visited the showroom where a good variety of doors were on display. We didn't have a standard door size but that wasn't a problem. When we had the quote lots of questions were asked and answered. The guys fitting the door were very professional throughout and everything was left clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend this firm if anyone was looking for a new garage door. They kept in touch throughout and made a good job, the door looks great 👍.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jill

A great experience. From booking my survey, Jordan came, on time, and talked me through my options, and ordered my door. Zap kept in touch, everything went as planned. Kyle and Ruben came to fit my door, and left me very satisfied. They didn't hang about fitting it, and left everywhere clean and tidy. They've done a great job. Thanks to all of you.

Brij Chaggar
If you are thinking of having a garage door fitted, look no further than Zap. From the initial survey to customer care to installation these guys are the best. John and Declan were friendly, helpful and kept me informed of what they were doing throughout. Everything was left neat and tidy and it showed that they took pride in their work. Bravo and thank you.
Response from the owner:Thankyou

Had a garage door fitted by these guys and from start to finish it's been hassle free and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again guys
Thomas Kidder
I’ve had an insulated roller door installed for almost four years and it has been brilliant and well worth the price. Recently had some engineers John and Declan come out to fix it after I accidentally damaged it and they were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to fix the door quickly. After several really positive interactions with customer services and staff, I couldn’t recommend Zap more.
len jubb
Response from the owner:Thanks Len
Garry Aylott
Major fault with my electric garage roller door last evening.
This evening completely fixed by two of the nicest lads you could ever meet.
Absolute brilliant job, great service and care to go with it.
Perfect…. thank you.
Response from the owner:Thanks Garry
Sarah Kidby
I contact Zap on a Wednesday afternoon as I needed my garage door replaced, like for like. Within 45 minutes I had Jonny arrive to quote and talk through which door would be suitable. I paid a small deposit and Saturday lunchtime Paul Whitehead arrived with the door and replaced the old one. Super quick and super tidy, he even cleaned some soil that I had spilt. All waste from the previous garage door was taken away. A few days later Hayley called to collect the outstanding balance. Great company with great service.
Peggy Bonner
Had our garage door replaced this pm two lovely men Sam and Lewis. The cleaned up after wards and even got rid of some old cobwebs. The looks great and we can noe open it.i would recommend Zap.
Alan Upton
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to ZAP Garage Doors for replacing my old electric, draughty, single skin garage doors with brand new, insulted Hormann units.

From the initial site visit by Dean to the installation by Kyle and Reuben and finally paying for them with Dawn in the back office, the whole experience has been professional and courteous and nothing was too much trouble.

Thank you !
Anne Ramshaw
The company was very professional from start to finish, when they surveyed the guy was very polite, kept us up to date all the way up to fitting, lee did a super job installing and showing us how to use it.

James
Great company. Really happy with all the service we received from visiting the showroom the surveyor and the installers.

We had a minor hiccup on site when they started but it was handled perfectly which is a sign of a great company and professional team. Nothing was too much for them and they listened to what we wanted and they got it spot on.

My family have used them many times and this was our first time. I wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend them to anyone. Prices were reasonable too
Andrew Wilson
This is the second garage door I have had fitted by Zap. Friendly and reliable service.
Thank you.
Billy Clampitt
I couldn’t be happier with my new electric garage door! From the initial survey by Dean, where all my questions were thoroughly answered, to the friendly and efficient communication with Jordan to arrange the fitting, the service was outstanding. Ian and Reuben did a fantastic job with the installation, overcoming some challenges with the existing structure in no time. The result looks amazing, and I only wish I’d had it installed sooner. Highly recommended—thank you to the team!
Kate Siswick
Fantastic service from start to finish. The garage door is amazing and has transformed the garage completely! Fabulous communication too. The guys who came from the Doncaster branch were just great. Clean, tidy and explained everything so well. Big shout out to Patrick and Thomas!
Definitely 5 stars from me.
Edmund Key
Pat & Tom had a brilliant work ethic and completed a very large garage door installation perfectly.

Thank you !
Jemma Armstrong
Fantastic and friendly customer service! Thank you very much for your time and advice Dean!
Julie Perkins
Good communication from person on phone and well fitted. A bit of a mix up about the inside roller cover as there wasn’t one fitted. They said it would be another extra £40 until someone phoned to explain that there wasn’t enough room for one. Looks good and hubby happy 👍
Sam Webster
Pat & Ian replaced my garage door today. Quick and tidy work, considerate and a job well done. Overall, Happy with the door, the service & would recommend Zap Garage Doors.

Elizabeth Elson
Thankyou John and Declan (I rang the office to find out your names I hope that's ok) I really wanted to compliment your courtesy, product knowledge and your uncomplicated "can do" attitude... at 5.00pm in the cold and not rushing through the job to just get it done. - Hayley You came through! I also really appreciated your calm friendly organisation.

Fixer Bear
Had a door fitted by Zap (Doncaster) fair play to the lads, they did a great job, starting at 5 in the dark, slight snagging as I hadn't finished the footings but they came back without complaint and went the extra mile to make my door look top notch, wish I could give them 10 stars for the speed of getting my snagging done and the professionalism from the fitters to staff in showroom, they come very highly recommended by me and I'm usually hard to please.
Andy Wrigley

Michelle Tantrum
Fantastic work had a garage door and front door fitted. Absolutely love them. Very polite people. 😁
Simon Chadwick
Having purchased my garage door from Zap 2 years ago John and Declan came to service it 30.9.24. Both are very professional and helpful and thoroughly cleaned the runners, wheels and springs, checked all the screws were tight and slightly adjusted the motor to give it a smoother ride as well as refreshing my knowledge on maintenance myself. On top of this, I asked them if they could quickly pop round to my elderly neighbour who has had a very bad experience elsewhere with repairs and servicing. John and Declan popped over, confirmed it isn’t yet ready for a service and also cleaned down and lubricated the rails without charge. Superb customer service that has saved her a lot of worry due to previous problems with another door company and she will now be using Zap moving forwards. Full marks - thank you!
Rick C
Had a Hormann sectional garage door fitted yesterday. Although not the cheapest on the market, the quality of the door is excellent and it looks great.
Pat and Tom, who installed the door, were polite and professional and answered any questions I had. They left the site clean and tidy and took away all rubbish including the old door.
Would highly recommend.
Sharon Blockley
Again Zap have been friendly, totally supportive, kind and professional.
From Hayley who answers the telephone to the fitters you know you are dealing with people who feel like family.
Would always highly recommend them. From a lock to be changed, to 4 garage doors. We knew we were in good hands.
Sharon and David, Stannington.
Gayna Appleton
My husband and I are delighted with our new doors. We had a front door, side gate and roller garage door fitted and they look amazing. What a difference they’ve made to the front of our house. The fitters, Kyle, Lewis and Jonny were punctual, professional, courteous, polite and hard-working. They cleaned everything up afterwards so I wasn’t left with a mess at the end of the day. Thank you guys, and thank you Hayley for your great communication. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.
Ross Bellaby

Excellent workmanship and service throughout from Pat and Jim last Friday

Extremely tidy and removed all rubbish and swept the garage out before leaving
Would certainly recommend Zap to anyone needing a new garage door
Joe Bragg
I filtered through no less than 8 garage door companies before choosing Zap. I had some fussy aesthetic requests which were too difficult for most to incorporate into the plan. No problem for Jordan, who in addition to himself also sent round two pleasant and tidy fitters named Jimmy and Jonny who also shared our initial. How bespoke is that!! :-D
john ward
Absolutely fantastic service from fitting to finish by Pat and Tom. Fast & efficient service. Thanks to Paul in the office as well for sending these guys out when I had an issue. Highly recommend to anyone. Thanks very much.

Just had my new roller door fitted today by the fantastic Joan and Jonno.
I should of had the door fitted yesterday, but due to an error on my behalf, ended up leaving them high and dry.
Regardless of that. They were back within 24hrs in order to facilitate the install...

They arrived just after 9 and were done and dusted before 12.

Thoroughly professional job carried out by 2 of the nicest andmost knowledgeable fitters

Robert Taylor
HI there I would like to thank everyone at the company for such a great turn around, I had been looking for garage doors for my new garage build for about 3 months, getting quotes, waiting for surveyors etc, then i came across this company, from the off talking to Paul on the phone asking him questions etc he wanted to help and guided me on what I needed to do etc, he arranged a survey within in the week (others i had to wait 2-3 weeks) he came out and measured explained what was needed and how it would proceed, he didn't come across as pushy, or was in a rush to leave, I decided to go ahead with them, told me it would take about 3 weeks for the doors to be made! which was excellent considering other company's were telling me 6-8 weeks! 2 weeks in I get a phone call saying they were ready! I came to fit them the following day, the 2 lads that came (Joe and Jono) were very polite, explained what they were going to do and showed me how things worked, I felt relaxed around them and could have a conversation with them, they fitted the doors and transformed the garage, I would highly recommend this company, they make quality products to a high standard and for competitive prices, the team is very helpful, they don't give you the can't be arsed attitude which I got off other well known company's (cough cough garage door company) I will be using them in the future if I have other projects.

Wasn't sure what I needed but spoke to a lovely gentlemen called Simon who helped me understand the options available to me. The fitters arrived at the time agreed and did not stop until the job was done. Could not have asked for a better experience purchasing a garage door. Would and have recommended Zap Garage Doors to friends and family.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review P! Great to hear that Simon could help - we will pass on your comments to him and the team! - the ZAP Garage Doors Team

Paul
When we needed a new garage door Zap were the only ones to actualky come out to measure up for a quote. All the rest used pictures I sent and measurements. We're glad he did as he spotted a problem with the frame that would need it strengthening. Fitters arrived on time and made putting the new door in effortless. All the time social distancing and doing a very clean and tidy job. All stuff was cleaned away & old garage door taken too. The new door looks great and is so much better. Considering the cost of everything we're more than happy to recommend Zap. Thanks to all the team.
Alison Sanderson
Bruce and Kyle arrived on time and were very professional throughout the installation of our new roller garage door. They explained everything to us - how to use the alarm and the manual over ride Etc. Took the old garage door away and left everything neat and tidy. what more can you ask for ? From the initial site visit, calls to the office , to installation it has been a seamless service . Would recommend them without hesitation . Many thanks - Your staff are a credit to you !

We had our garage door fitted today by Ian & Jason. I am really happy with the service received. Both Ian & Jason were polite and professional throughout and left the garage and drive clean and tidy once finished. They explained everything to me, how to use the remote control and the override option in case of a power cut. Fantastic, would highly recommend.

Very, very pleased with our new garage door from Zap, Wakefield. Competitive price. Everything went smoothly from first contact at the showroom, to measuring up and receiving the quote. Excellent workmanship from the fitters and the area was left clean and tidy. 5 stars aren't enough, they deserve 10! I am definitely going to recommend them.

ENJOYING LIFE
I would concure with the review from Sharon Dyson. Zap from Wakefield were excellent from start to finish. We initially visited the Zap showroom and there was met by Christine, who was very helpful and professional. Christine showed us various doors, explained how they worked, an idea about pricing, she was a pleasure to speak with and an excellent representative for the company. Philip the salesman came to the house and gave us a good competitive quote for 2 composite doors and a garage door with electric motor. There was no hard sell, the conversation was relaxed, but professional, and we decided we would book for the work to be done. The work team arrived on time and completed the work to a very good standard. They were friendly, tidy and professional. I have just had to call Zap back after couple of months due to the back door sticking when closing it. Christine again was superb arranging for someone to come out in about a week to sort it out. Thank you.

I’d like to share my opinion on Zap Garage Doors Wakefield it’s not a normal thing for me but when a company as gone that extra mile to help me and my husband to make a decision on a garage door which makes a massive improvement to the front of our house I think it’s only right to say so

I will be honest I looked at the reviews before hand and a little doubtful but we had be recommended to this firm and I’m so glad I used them there salesman which I think is called Phil was brilliant no hard sales at all just a genuine guy and so bubbly we was so happy to let Zap do our Garage door and the service didn’t just stop there we was informed when the door would be fitted

On the day of fitting two gentlemen came and introduced themselves and just got on with the job I kept them full with tea/coffee oh and biscuits and when they was done the gentlemen went through how the door worked and made sure I was happy with everything which I was over the moon what a difference loved it

So I would definitely recommend and will be recommending them

Thanks so much ZAP GARAGE DOORS
