For most people, it takes a little
longer to do a garage door installation by them because it is not something you
do every day. Following a few simple guidelines will eventually save you some
time during the process and with preventive support from an expert from Secure
for sure you can lessen the odds of you spending out cash for exorbitant fixes.
Do not install alone
Due to the complexity and
potential safety hazards during the installation of the door, we never
recommend that anyone other than trained professionals attempt garage door
installation.
Installing a new garage door for
do-it-yourself-ers is moderately difficult, but it certainly can be done.
Springs can be dangerous to handle, so never do it alone! Ask for help from
experts from Secure for sure when trying this task as there is a possibility of
an accident with Springs! You will want to avoid some common mistakes when
doing a garage door installation.
Using Nails to Replace Log Screws
It is not advisable to use nails
in place of log screws in framing. Some of the reasons for this are:
When the garage door opens and
closes, it puts more force on the nails and pulls the nails out of the frame. The
weight of the door requires an additional support of the log screws
Leaving the steel stepper
A steel stiffener must be
installed above the garage door. It has been omitted too many times because it
causes problems:
This reinforces the top panel of
the garage door, causing the panel to crack if left open without the repeated
jerking from the motor.
Installing Door Opener Off-Center
When installing a garage door
opener, care must be taken to install the motor and lift assembly in the exact
center of the door. Failure to do so will result in the door being locked. It
is common for people to try to install it in the center because of obstacles.
Move the barrier without making the installation off-center.
While this may seem like a simple
process to remember and get on to the process of the installation of the door,
it must be remembered that this could become extremely dangerous if not
performed by a professional. A lot of precision, how-to’s and a lot of
preparedness needs to go into this process. Installing a garage door all by you
could even turn deadly if the installer does not have the proper training and
the required experience to do the job.
Every garage has its own
uniqueness and particular complications. A professional from Secure for Sure
allows the process of installation to go very smoothly because they understand
how to handle such challenges, and also expect them before they arise.
