Garage Door Installation Service
The installation of sectional, rolling, and up-and-over garage doors in a garage or utility building enhances security and improves thermal insulation. It also increases the property’s value and ensures user comfort. Investors appreciate this type of garage door for its functionality and aesthetics. However, to ensure that the door meets expectations, it must be measured and installed correctly. This task should be handled by a specialist who knows what aspects to focus on.
Below are several important aspects of garage door installation.
Installing a Garage Door in an Unfinished Building
Installing a garage door in a building that is still under construction can interfere with plastering and masonry work. Additionally, substances found in mortars, paints, or coatings can permanently damage the surface of the door and its drive mechanism. It is essential to remember that the garage door mechanism is sensitive to dust and dirt, so installation should only take place after the interior is fully finished.
Uneven or Unstable Mounting of Sectional Door Tracks
Most garage doors, regardless of the opening mechanism, require the installation of tracks. If they are not mounted parallel, the door may not function properly or may even become inoperable. Therefore, precise leveling is crucial.
Additionally, unstable mounting can lead to the misalignment of the tracks, resulting in damage to the door. In extreme cases, a door falling off its tracks poses a serious safety risk to users. This is why choosing high-quality mounting anchors from reputable manufacturers is essential.
Incorrectly Installed Springs
A key component of any sectional garage door is the spring system, which allows even large and heavy doors to be opened manually with minimal effort. Springs are mounted in various locations, but they must always be installed according to the direction of their coils. A door with improperly installed springs will not function correctly. Before installing the motor, it is essential to check whether the door panel lifts smoothly and without resistance when opened manually.
