Listed below are the most commonly asked questions and answers about garage doors. and if you have any more questions or requirements, please E-mail us your inquiries.

Q．Why should I use a professional installer?

A．We firmly believe that the installation of a garage door is not a do-it-yourself job. A garage door is the largest moving object in your home and because of the large number of small parts, its installation is highly technical. Connecting the springs can be particularly dangerous and proper installation is critical to the performance of your door. One of the other services a professional installer can provide is the disposal of your old door, if you are replacing a door.
Professional installers can typically install a door in a few hours and are careful to make sure safety requirements are met. Installations by most homeowners typically span several days and cause much frustration. In addition, incorrect installation can void certain warranties, so we recommend a professional handle the job for you.

Q．Why should I choose an insulated door if my garage is uninsulated?

A．A garage door opening is a very large hole in your garage. Insulated doors will help to reduce the amount of outside temperatures that enters your garage, thus keeping it more comfortable for you. This is important for a number of reasons:
1) If your garage is attached to your home, any air in the garage can travel through the doorway to your living area.
2) If you use your garage as a workshop, your comfort will be a top priority.
3) If your garage is below another room in your home, air can travel through the ceiling of the garage into the floor of the room above. An insulated door will keep temperatures in the garage fairly stable to reduce the temperature fluctuation in the room.
4) An insulated door is generally quieter and has a more attractive interior than an uninsulated door.

Q．I'd like windows, but I'm concerned about security?

A．Security is a large concern. Because of this, We have designed safe, secure windows for your garage doors. This windows are lucency that make your garage brighter and more beautiful.

Q．How do I know if my door is properly balanced?

A. There are several tests you can perform to tell if your door is balanced:
1) When the door comes down, it lowers in a controlled manner and doesn't slam.
2) When the door goes up, it is at a controlled pace.
3) The bottom of the door should align with the bottom of the header when the door is in a raised position.

Q．What type of spring is better...extension or torsion?

A．There are two types of springs used on garage doors today...extension and torsion. extension springs, these are the springs that are attached on either side of the door and stretch along the horizontal part of the track when the door is closed. Torsion springs are typically located just above the top section of the door and are mounted to the header. They are wound springs and do not expand or contract when the door is moved.
A torsion spring is a superior spring, primarily because it offers more safety to the homeowner and better balances the door to provide smoother operation.

Q．What type of care and maintenance is necessary for our garage door and hardware?

A．We recommend that you wash your steel door a minimum of one (1) time per year with: (a) One cup of Tide® (or other common detergents which contain less than 0.5% phosphate), dissolved into five gallons of warm water, or (b) One cup of household ammonia dissolved into five gallons of water (room temperature). NEVER BLEND CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
The garage door may be washed with either solution and the use of a well-soaked cloth, sponge, brush (with very soft bristles) or low pressure spray washer are recommended. Once the door is washed, thoroughly rinse with clean water to eliminate the possibility of residue.
In addition, lubrication is recommended on a yearly basis for the following hardware: pulleys, rollers, hinges and springs. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN LUBRICATING SPRINGS AS THEY ARE UNDER HIGH TENSION. WHEN APPLYING LUBRICANT AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH THE SPRING. Visually inspect springs and cable for wear and binding once each year and contact a professional garage door repairman if damage is suspected.
