Proper Garage Door Installation Reduces Future Repair Costs

Appropriately done garage door installation can make a world of difference in the value, safety, and carefree maintenance of a home's garage door.  If a door is put in improperly, the moving parts can wear out more quickly, creating the possibility of injury to people or pets, or damage to property, as well as the need for replacement and repairs.  Whether the installation is done by the homeowner, or by professional installers, following basic guidelines and instructions can reduce the cost and necessity of garage door repair down the line.

 

Whether the homeowner is performing the garage door installation or hiring a professional to do the installation, it is important that the manual that comes with the door is followed correctly.  If the homeowner is installing the door him or herself, these instructions will be vital for being sure that steps he or she might not think of are taken.  Even a professional installer should follow the manual, as some doors might have different requirements that the installer may not be as familiar with.  A professional installer should be able to point out tips to reduce the need for garage door repair down the line.

 

Also, garage door installation manuals may call for additional supplies that are not contained in the box from the manufacturer.  Certain items, like the metal stiffener that must be put in place if the door is to be operated by an automatic garage door opener, are not included in some kits, as not all doors will be used with an automatic opener.  If the door is to be fitted with a lift motor, this stiffener prevents the mechanism from slowly bending the garage door.  Over time, a door with automatic lift that was not installed with a stiffener will bend to the point that it can jam the system and then garage door repair will be necessary.

 

Other important considerations in garage door installation would be the use of the proper screws to secure all the parts, as nails will not hold up over time.  If the door is to be used with a lift motor, the motor should be installed in the center of the ceiling, because if the motor is pulling from the side, it can twist the door out of shape over time and reduce the life of the motor.  Done properly, garage door installation can reduce the frequency and cost of garage door repair over time.
