Question 1

How long does it typically take to install a garage door?

Accepted Answer

A typical Smart Doors garage door installation begins with dismantling and removing the old garage door, followed by the fitting of new panels, tracks, cables, rollers, springs, and the opener. We also thoroughly test the system to verify that it works appropriately. The installation time for residential garage doors might range from 4-8 hours or a whole day, depending on the door size and style. A typical installation, on the other hand, may be undertaken in one day and is generally easy if compatible with the existing structure.

Question 2

Can a new garage door be installed on existing tracks?

Accepted Answer

If you’re considering of changing your garage door on old tracks, please note that it’s only possible if you stick with the same brand and model. This is since each brand has a distinct garage door design that should correspond to the measurements of the tracks. Incompatible tracks can induce bending or misalignment of track brackets, which can cause problems. Also we at Smart Doors always recommend you to change the garage door parts while replacing old garage door.

Question 3

Is there supposed to be a space between the garage door and the wall?

Accepted Answer

It is critical that your garage door has no gaps at the bottom, top, sides, or between the panels. If there is space between the door, floor, ceiling, and walls, you will see light flowing through these areas or feel a draught. This has an impact on the insulation and, if left unfixed, will result in energy inefficiency.

Question 4

Is a permit or authorization required to alter my garage door?

Accepted Answer

In general, you don’t need authorization to modify your garage door as long as no structural changes are involved.

Question 5

How far must the garage door be from the ceiling?

Accepted Answer

To work properly, a garage door must have appropriate space. Standard automatic openers typically require a minimum of 12 inches of overhead clearance, with some requiring 18 inches. This clearance includes 12 inches for the door and torsion springs and three inches for the garage door opener. Certain wooden garage doors, on the other hand, may require 18 inches of headroom.

Question 6

What is a garage door's R-value and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

A garage door’s R-value reflects its ability to decrease heat transmission. A higher R-value indicates less cold air penetration in the winter and less heat infiltration in the summer. In general, the greater the R-value, the better for keeping a comfortable living space while lowering the homeowner’s energy bills.

Question 7

Where should I buy a garage door opener?

Accepted Answer

Since 2005, we have consistently recommended and installed Lift Master garage door openers, owing to their high quality and extended guarantee. We supply all types of lift master gate openers, which may be fitted alongside or independently from your new door.

Question 8

Which is better for my home's new garage door: extension or torsion springs?

Accepted Answer

The average single-car garage door measures 8 to 9 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet high. We have garage door types ranging in width from 4 to 20 feet, to the closest inch, so you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. One of the major benefits of Smart Doors garage doors is that because each door is custom constructed, you will not be charged extra to acquire the precise measurements you want.

Question 9

How do I collect measurements before purchasing a new garage door?

Accepted Answer

Measure the height and width of your door opening in feet and inches to estimate the needed size of your garage door. Nevertheless, it is not always so simple since additional tracks, rails, components, or anything else that would influence the present dimensions must be considered. We recommend leaving everything to us at Smart Doors. Request a free home consultation and our garage door specialist will offer you the finest advise and take the measurements.

Question 10

Are you Licensed, certified, Insured and Bonded?

Accepted Answer

Indeed, all of our garage door specialists are qualified and licensed, and they have adequate liability insurance.

Question 11

Can I install a garage door myself?

Accepted Answer

We do not advocate doing your own garage door installation. Without the necessary knowledge and skills, you may ruin the installation, violate your warranty, or injure yourself. To get the most out of your garage door installation, we always recommend leaving it to qualified specialists.
