Garage Door Installation

• How to Install Garage Doors
• A garage door can be installed by either a
  professional or by the homeowner. It would be of
  course cheaper to do it yourself. You must be
  careful of the alignment and the installation if
  you are planning to install it by yourself.
  Further, the weight of the door is between 115 to
  200 kgs. As a homeowner, you must be comfortable
  handling such heavy objects.
• Installation Process
• Step 1 Depending on the type of door, your door
  spring will be of two kinds- a torsion spring or
  an extension spring. Torsion springs are the new,
  modern spring and more stable than extension
  springs. You have to set the tension of the
  torsion spring using a tensioning system.
• Step 2 If you are replacing an existing garage
  door, its advisable to remove all old hardware
  before new installation. Your new door may have
  an automatic opening sensor with photoelectric
  eyes. So, make sure you remove the old sensors to
  avoid any confusing signals for the door.
• Step 3 After the you set up the door, replace
  the material of the door called stop material.
  This is right outside the place of the old door.
  It is recommended to replace it with a rubber
  material that is available at any store in
  Canada. Install this new rubber stop material for
  the garage door installation to be completed.

Quality Garage Door Installations

• Selection of the New Garage Door
• The garage door installation procedure commences
  when the customer begins to shop for a new garage
  door, either in-store or online. In-store is
  helpful because an associate of the store can
  show the interested party the possibilities and
  assist them in selecting the door that would best
  suit their home. The specific needs of the
  customer would also be considered. Careful
  measurements of the door opening should be taken.
  An estimate for the entire project should also be
  clearly outlined, and the installation period
  agreed upon.
• Site Survey and Professional Installation of the
  Garage Door
• An Installation Services Coordinator will make
  arrangements for the survey of the site where the
  door should be installed at the most convenient
  time. During this period, an installer will come
  and verify the measurements of the garage. The
  installer is also tasked with checking whether
  the garage door entrance is parallel to the
  ground and square for proper shielding against
  moisture. Once this has been approved, a
  convenient date is selected for the installation
  of the garage door. When the time arrives, the
  installer removes the existing door. The
  installer then installs the new model, seals, and
  trims the door.
• The Follow- up Inspection
• Once the garage door has been installed, the
  installer meets with the customer to walk through
  all major elements of the installation. The
  installer also has a duty to explain to the
  customer the new entry system and the new opener.

Thinking About Installing a Garage Door?

• One Door to Rule Them All
• The first thing that will need to be decided upon
  choosing to have a garage door installed is
  obviously what type of door to go with. There are
  a few different types of doors that depend on how
  the door opens. Whether the doors swing out,
  swing up, roll up, or slide to the side choosing
  the style that best suits your home can depend on
  a number of things. What kind of space are you
  working with? Are you searching for a unique
  look?
• Measure Twice, Install Once
• During the survey, a professional will come to
  your home in Canada. Measurements of your garage
  will be taken along with miscellaneous other
  measurements such as exterior brickwork will be
  taken as well to ensure that install goes
  smoothly. While onsite they will discuss their
  recommendations for garage doors that will best
  fit the available space and walk you through
  options such as windows, springs, and insulation.
  Lastly, they will quote an installation price
  once options have been decided and schedule the
  actual installation!
• Finally, its Door Time!
• The actual installation will vary from job to job
  depending on style and type of install that was
  decided on but most typical professional
  installations can be completed within
  approximately five hours. They should also walk
  you through safety features, how the door opener
  works, and how to use the garage door remote. The
  last thing they should do is schedule you for a
  follow-up inspection which will double check that
  no gaps have formed, no leaks are occurring, and
  that all parts are properly aligned and working.

Finding the Best Garage Door Specialists in Canada

• Reliability of garage door functions.
• The reliability of a garage door function is
  crucial for every customer, whether private or
  commercial. This is the largest moving part of
  the property. If the door wears down and becomes
  faulty, or doesnt work at all, it impedes both
  safety and ease of operation for the persons who
  use the door most often.
• Find low prices and deals.
• It is possible to find sales and specials as a
  first-time customer or a returning customer
  requesting upgrades. Hire professionals who have
  gained a good reputation with honesty, dedication
  and thoroughness in their work, yet to still give
  the best prices and deals.
• Ease and availability can make a huge difference
  in who is hired
• Check the companys ability to provide emergency
  service as needed. Some companies will provide
  low rates, even free of charge, inspections and
  quotes for repairs needed. There are also
  warranties for parts and work done that are
  available. Make sure to purchase the very best.
• Meeting rules and regulations for Canadian
  businesses
• When looking for a vendor to get work done, make
  sure that they follow the laws and regulations of
  Canada.

Garage Door Troubleshooting

• The garage door wont open with the remote
• In some cases this could be a simple fix just
  from replacing the battery in the garage remote.
  Another reason the remote doesnt work could be
  that the garage system wasnt programmed
  correctly. If the garage door light is blinking
  more than once after the remote button was
  clicked you should check the switch on the wall
  to make sure it was programmed correctly.
  Reprogram the garage door using the wall control
  system and then try to open the garage door
  again.
• The garage door wont open all the way
• If the garage door wont fully open there is a
  high possibility that the springs are broken.
  Most garage doors weigh anywhere from 150-250
  lbs., and if the springs are broken the garage
  door opener won't work. Attempting to open a
  garage door with broken springs will only damage
  the garage door even more. Garage door springs
  typically have a life span of 3-5 years.
  Extension springs are said to have the longest
  life span of any garage spring at 7-12 years. The
  extension spring is what holds the track on the
  ceiling of the garage door which enables the
  garage doors to open and close remotely. If the
  problem cant be fixed manually the best thing to
  do is to hire a garage repairman to replace the
  springs manually without damaging the garage door.

Garage Door Troubleshooting

• Garage door makes strange sounds
• When the rollers that move to open and close the
  garage are worn out these awkward sounds take
  place. Professionals suggest spraying a type of
  lubrication on the tracks to keep the tracks from
  squeaking while others believe this is a sign
  that the tracks should be replaced. If the garage
  door makes a clapping sound that could be a sign
  that the garage door chain could be loose. In
  order to fix this issue one of the best things
  that can be done is to tighten all parts where
  the sounds are coming from. Tighten all the nuts
  and bolts on the garage door and spray lubricant
  on the rollers and the chain.
• Pay attention to the signs
• The condition of the garage door should be
  apparent by the way it is used and maintained.
  Most people merely use their garage to go in and
  out, therefore looking for the signs should be
  relatively easy. Pay attention to the sounds your
  garage door makes when opening and closing it.
  Check the springs for any kind of rust or wear
  and tear that might lead to the spring breaking.
  In the winter, the cold weather - especially in
  places like Canada - may cause the doors to not
  open properly. Be sure to adjust the garage
  sensors in this situation. And finally just use
  common sense and pay attention to anything that
  doesnt seem to be working right. If you can fix
  it yourself without damaging the garage door or
  the wall system, thats great, but if not be sure
  to get the help of a professional.

Having Trouble with a Garage Door Opener?

• Overhead fixture repair
• Make sure that there is a test done to show that

  repairman leaves
• Motor running non-stop
• It may be that the equipment is not receiving
  signals from the door opener, telling it to stop,
  possibly due to a misalignment of the sensors

  garage door. This is also one of the repairs that
  is often done within 24-hour time periods, and of
