Garage Door FAQ

Here are some of the more common questions we get about garage doors:

I need a new garage door. How do I know what size to get?
You’ll have to measure the width of the finished opening, and then measure the height. The reason is that door sizes are always shown and listed in this manner.

How do I release the door from the operator so I can open it by hand?
Make sure the door is fully closed, and simply pull the red release cord down to the floor.

How can I tell if the garage door springs are balanced properly?
Open the door halfway and let go of the door, and if it stays in the same position, the springs are balanced properly. If the door drops or open on its own, then you should have the springs adjusted by a contractor.

Can’t I just install the door myself?
Installing a garage door isn’t a “do-it-yourself” type of job. It’s the largest moving object in your home, and has a number of small parts requiring specific technical expertise. Connecting the springs can be dangerous, and proper installation is critical. A professional contractor can install the door in a short time, and will ensure all safety requirements are met.

How do I dispose of my old door?
Most dealers and installers will haul the old one away. Discuss with the company doing the work.
