A lot of people ask me- who makes garage doors? How many different varieties are there? How do I know who is a trustworthy garage door producer and who isn't? Well the answer depends on the type of door you're looking for, and the models, options, and features you want to have. While one company may be just fine for a simple fiberglass door, I wouldn't trust them with classic wood. Or some companies only make some types. Once you've narrowed your choice down, you are looking at a couple of possibilities. Don't forget also that many of these companies are regional and will only be available in their home state. And you definitely want to patronize someone who is within driving distance of you, so you can check out their doors for yourself before committing to buy. A good rule of thumb, though, it that Wayne Dalton, Clopay, and Raynor make good fiberglass, hardboard, metal, and wood doors. General AMerican makes decent fiberglass ones, and overhead is pretty good for hardboard and metal. If you're looking for a fancy garage door that actually swings open, you might want to check out Marinor's Doors. Other than that ,you'll want to check on warrantees for garage doors- you'll want at least a few years for the door and a decade for the springs.
We
all know the dangers of a garage door- it's the largest moving object in your
home, and the most heavy-duty motor you own (besides your car, obviously). But
what else do you have to watch for when installing a new garage door or when
considering the safety issues of an old one?
Well,
the power of the garage door opener is one thing- a misaligned or maladjusted
garage door opener can actually break the top section of your garage door. In
very cold temperatures, it's highly possible for roll-up garage doors to freeze
into one big section, making it impossible to open. When the opener tried to
open the door, it can end up ripping the top railing of the door clean off.
This
does not, however, mean it would behoove you to buy a low-powered garage door
opener. To the contrary, it just means that you should always make sure your
opener and door are aligned correctly. If your not sure about the stability,
put a call in to professional garage door services people or a garage door
repair person.
Another
thing about garage door openers- they may not always be to blame for any garage
door malfunctions. For example, if your door jerks alarmingly, rattles, or
makes a deafening grinding noise while it's trying to open, it could be the
hardware. You might be missing bolts from some of the hinges, or your rollers
might be off. You might even have a loose spring. That does not mean you need
to replace the actual garage door opener mechanism.
The Genie A-2K garage door opener, priced at around two hundred dollars, is a remarkably popular model among consumers. Homeowners rate it as being very reliable, fairly simple to install, and quiet compared to other screw-drive models. It's definitely much quieter than any chain-drive model you'll find on the market, though not quite as silent as a belt-drive, which are the most expensive variety.
The A-2K also has the advantage of being very affordable for a non-chain-drive garage door opener, especially when you consider how many features it comes with. It not only comes with two remotes with three buttons each, but also with a high-tech wall console, safety sensors, and a wireless keypad. You can program in any code you like, and you can set up multiple passwords for different times of day. (like allowing your gardener in during the day but putting it on lockdown during the night, or giving your kid access when he has band practice but keeping things under wraps when you're working on a project in there.)
The opener comes with a two-year warranty, and a special-extended ten-year warranty on the motor and screw drive mechanism.
Overall, the new Genie garage door opener is a great buy and is rated pretty high up on the consumer reports.
Spring has sprung, and the equinox is officially here. The days are getting longer and warmer, and pollen is in the air. So
that means it's time to get cracking with some spring cleaning in and around
the home.
And obviously, there are some things to be done in the
garage as well. You might want to haul everything out of the garage, dump the
trash, donate what you don't want, and put everything back in, nice and
organized. You can buy garage organizer bins, shelves, or other storage
apparatuses at your local home depot, and a boxes may not be amiss.
Your garage door itself might be crying out for some
cleaning, too. After a long, hard winter, it may be looking a bit dingy or be a
little worse for wear. Hose down the front, oil the connections, and make sure
the garage door opener is working properly.
If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you might think
about applying a fresh coat of paint to your garage door to really make your
home shine like a new penny. Don't forget primer and varnish, though. You don't
want your new paint job looking crummy a few months down the line.
But first things first- cleaning and repairs. More on that
later.
