Open Sesame Garages · Oklahoma City

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard single-car garage door installation takes about 3 to 5 hours; a double-wide door usually takes 4 to 7 hours, assuming the existing frame and tracks are in good condition.

What can add time

  • Removing and disposing of an old door adds roughly 30-60 minutes.
  • Damaged or out-of-square framing needs correction before the new door goes in.
  • Adding a new smart opener, sensors, or wall keypad extends the visit.
  • Custom or heavy insulated doors take longer to align than standard steel doors.

Same-day installation

For in-stock doors, Open Sesame Garages can often quote in the morning and complete installation the same evening. Custom orders (specific colors, window inserts, or wood-look finishes) usually need to be ordered ahead and take longer to arrive.
