AfterSingle Car Door in Long Beach, CA
A single car garage door installation in Long Beach typically runs $1,100 to $2,400 for a standard 8×7 or 9×7 steel door with basic hardware, depending on insulation, window options, and whether the old door’s tracks can be reused. Most single door installs in Long Beach take one day from tear-out to final adjustment. Call Brock Garage Doors Long Beach at (562) 337-3993 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
We install single car doors for the garages that dominate Long Beach’s older neighborhoods: the compact one-car bays in Belmont Shore, the detached singles behind bungalows in Bixby Knolls, the narrow alley-loaded garages in Alamitos Beach. These doors get opened twice a day, every day, and when they’re installed wrong, you hear it. A door that binds on the track, sags in the middle, or slams harder than it should is usually an installation problem, not a door problem. Our Garage Door Installation work is done to The Garrison Standard: arrival window kept, price in writing, door hung level and balanced, site swept clean.
Brock Garage Doors Long Beach is an independently owned and operated location within the Garrison Partners network, working to The Garrison Standard since 2001. Wade Mercer runs the Long Beach operation. When you call, a live person answers. When the tech shows up, they’ve been background-checked and they’re in uniform. No surprises, no price that moves at the door.
When You Need Single Car Door
Here’s what pushes Long Beach homeowners to replace a single car door, in the order we see it most:
- The door won’t close square. You can see daylight on one side and the panel rubs the jamb on the other. The track has shifted or the section hinges are worn past adjustment.
- The bottom panel is rusted through. Salt air off the harbor accelerates rust on steel doors in Long Beach, especially on west-facing garages in Naples and the Peninsula. Once the bottom rail goes, water and rodents follow.
- The door is loud enough to wake the house. Worn rollers and loose hardware make a single door sound like a freight train. If the sections are still straight, a rebuild helps. If the panels are dented or separating, replacement is the honest call.
- You’re selling the house. A beat-up garage door is the second thing buyers see after the front door. A clean single door install typically recovers most of its cost at sale in Long Beach’s market.
- The spring has snapped and the door is 20 years old. Replacing a spring on a door that’s near end of life buys you a year, maybe two. If the panels show delamination or the tracks are pitted, we’ll show you the numbers before you spend on a band-aid.
- The opener is fighting the door. A door that’s gotten heavier over the years because of worn hardware makes the opener work twice as hard. A new door with correct spring tension extends opener life.
Our Single Car Door Process
This is how every single car door install runs with Brock Garage Doors Long Beach:
- Measure and inspect. We measure the opening, check headroom and sideroom, and look at the existing track and mounting points. Long Beach garages built before 1960 often have non-standard openings, and we account for that before ordering anything.
- Written quote. You get the full price on paper before any work begins. Door, track, hardware, labor, haul-away of the old door, tax. The number on the invoice matches the number you approved.
- Removal. We pull the old door, tracks, and hardware. We do not leave the old door stacked on your curb unless you’ve asked us to. It goes with us.
- Installation. New track, new springs, new rollers, new hinges, new door sections. We hang the door level, balance the spring, and set the travel limits on the opener if you have one.
- Balance test and opener check. The door should hold at knee height without drifting when disconnected from the opener. If it doesn’t, we correct it before we leave.
- Walkthrough and written guarantee. We show you the door working, hand you the paperwork, and confirm the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something’s not right within a year, we return and fix it at no charge.
We’re trained on eight major brands, including Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor systems, so the install matches your specific door, not a generic routine. If you’ve got a LiftMaster opener over the door, we integrate the new door with its travel and force settings the same day.
Single Car Door Pricing in Long Beach
Here’s what we see in Long Beach in 2026, based on the installs we quote and complete in this market:
| Door Type | Typical Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Non-insulated steel, 8×7, no windows | $1,100 – $1,500 |
| Insulated steel, 8×7, no windows | $1,500 – $1,900 |
| Insulated steel with windows | $1,700 – $2,200 |
| Custom wood or carriage-style single door | $2,200 – $3,400+ |
What moves the number:
- Door size. An 8×7 is standard, but Long Beach has plenty of 7×6 and 9×7 openings. Odd sizes cost more because they’re less common.
- Insulation. Insulated doors cost more up front and pay back in garage temperature stability, especially in the exposed parking structures and detached garages common in the eastern Long Beach neighborhoods.
- Old hardware. If the existing track is bent or the mounting points are rotten, that adds time and material. We show you that in the written quote, not after the job starts.
- Haul-away. Included in our pricing. Not a line item. Not a “disposal fee” added at the end.
Every quote includes a written 365-day guarantee: if a covered repair fails within that window, a technician returns and corrects it at no additional charge. Call (562) 337-3993 for a free estimate. You’ll get the number on paper before you commit to anything.
FAQs – Single Car Door
How much does a single car garage door cost in Long Beach?
A single car garage door installed in Long Beach typically costs $1,100 to $2,400 for most standard steel doors, with custom wood or carriage-style doors running $2,200 to $3,400 or more. The price depends on door size, insulation, window options, and the condition of the existing track and mounting points. We hand over a written price before any work starts, so there’s no ambiguity. Call (562) 337-3993 for a free estimate on your specific opening.
How long does a single car door installation take?
A standard single car door installation takes one day, roughly four to six hours from arrival to final walkthrough. Removing the old door, hanging new track, installing the door sections, setting spring tension, and testing the opener are all completed the same day. If the opening needs structural correction, we’ll tell you before we order anything, not after we’ve started.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a single car door?
Repair is cheaper if the door is less than 15 years old and the panels are structurally sound. Common repairs like spring replacement or track alignment run $150 to $350, while a full replacement starts around $1,100. But if the bottom panel is rusted through, the door is binding repeatedly, or the hardware is worn past adjustment, replacement is often the better use of money. We show you both numbers and let you decide; we don’t push replacement when a repair will hold.
Can you install a single car door the same week I call?
In most cases, yes. Standard 8×7 and 9×7 single doors are stocked by our suppliers in the Los Angeles basin, and we schedule installs within the same week for most Long Beach addresses. Custom doors take longer because they’re built to order. Call (562) 337-3993 and a live person will give you a straight answer on scheduling for your specific door.
Do you haul away the old single car door?
Yes, haul-away of the old door, track, and hardware is included in our pricing. The old door leaves with us. No “disposal fee” appears on your invoice, and nothing gets stacked on the curb for you to deal with later.
