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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
