The Basic Steps For Garage Door Replacement

By Jayne Rutledge


There are many steps to garage door replacement but the process can be made easier with some professional help. The main steps for this process include taking measurements and removing the old door. There are a number of pieces to be installed after this including the brackets, hinges and tracks. Cables and springs are also required for this process. The amount of time that this procedure takes depends on how much experience you have with it. Most professionals can remove the old and install the new door within a relatively short period of time.

While doors to garages usually last a long time, these items do normally need to be replaced at some point. Sometimes you might have warning while in other occasions, you may not. Whatever the case, you can have the structure replaced with a new one. There are some general procedures for this.

You don't have to take care of the job yourself. You may hire a professional. It can be very convenient to have someone else do the work instead, especially if they are quite knowledgeable in the field. Usually, such an expert can do the job quickly.

The first step is often taking measurements. You need to know the size of the structure. These measurements should include the width of the door as well as the amount of head space required.

Before you start to take the down this older structure, check to see whether or not it has springs. If the product does have at least a set of springs then it needs to be removed while in the upward position. However, if there are so such parts then you are required to put the structure down to remove it.

The door panels need removal and the operator taken apart. There are various components involved in this such as taking out the nuts and bolts. The tracks and laser sensors have to be gotten rid of as well. Once this part is done and everything removed, you can prepare the space for the new product.

Before starting the installation process of the new products, the area has to be made level if it is not already. After this, you can place the weather stripping down. Next, the brackets and hinges should be put into place. When this work is complete, the tracks and rollers may put into their spots.

The hinges can be marked so that you know where to place the panels. These are the next sections to be installed. There are various pieces and tools to be used in this process and it can be a good idea to keep them close. The tracks are to be fastened next plus the bearings, other hinges, cables and springs. The operator system also has to be put into place.

While garage door replacement can take some time and effort, it can be convenient to hire the professionals for the task instead. Such individuals may not require much time for this project. These experts understand the process of removing the original structure and installing the newer one, including all of the different pieces needed. These professionals will generally remove all of this old hardware such as the tracks and operator before installing and testing the new parts.
