Is your
Overhead wood garage door sagging and cracking, almost impossible to lift, or
just generally falling apart? If it is, maybe now is the time to replace it with
a new one that's easy to operate and maintain.
Not only
can a new Wood Overhead garage door provide safe, secure, easy access to your
garage, but as one of your house's most visible elements. It can renew and
refresh your home's appearance.
Top 10 Questions about Over Head Wood Garage
Doors
Do you use your garage – I mean for your car? Many garages are storage areas
and workshops, while the vehicles sit outside, at the mercy of the elements. But
no matter what you use your garage for, your garage door is important. Without
it, your belongings, including your vehicle, would be open to thieves. So
although many of us take Wood overhead garage doors for granted, there are some
things you need to know about them. And our top 10 overhead Wood garage door
questions will reveal those things.
What’s R-value and why is it so important?
The R-value on a Wood garage door tell you how well it insulates. You might
think that it isn’t important to insulate your garage, but there are several
reasons why it’s necessary. If you happen to spend more time than usual in your
garage, like if you have a workshop there, for example, then you’ll definitely
be aware of the importance of insulation.
But your garage is also affected by its connection to the rest of your house,
particularly if you have a room above it. Of course, if your garage isn’t
attached to your house, you can get a garage door with a low R-value, or even no
insulation at all.
So check the R-value of a garage door before you buy it. The higher the
number, the better its insulation properties. For example, if you have a good
quality 1-3/8” Wood garage door, the R-value could be as high as 6.5. For
a lower-priced door, with a 9/16” thickness, the R-value could be around 4.4.
What’s headroom, backroom and sideroom?
Headroom is the amount of space inside the garage between the top of the Wood
garage door and the ceiling. Backroom is the inside length of the garage, from
front to back. Sideroom is the distance between the sides of the garage door and
the side walls of the garage.
You need to know these dimensions when you’re installing a garage door
because the hardware needs a certain amount of room to operate freely.
If I’m replacing my Wood garage door, how do I remove the torsion
springs?
Torsion garage door springs are under extreme pressure and, if not handled
properly, could release with enough power to kill you! You need specific
tools and training. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that you have a
professional do this job.
How many cycles should the torsion springs be on my Overhead Wood
garage door?
Torsion spring cycles are figured out mathematically. You take the average
number of times your garage door goes up and down every day, multiply by 250
days, and multiply again by 10 years. The reason they use 10 years is because
that’s the average life of a garage door.
You have a choice of 4 torsion spring cycles for garage doors: 25,000 cycles,
50,000 cycles, 75,000 cycles or 100,000 cycles. So you just have to know how
many times your garage door will be opened and closed every day, and figure it
out from there.
You can paint other garage doors, too. Wood garage doors look great when
painted or stained. Fiberglass garage doors can be painted, too. The great thing
about painting a garage door is that you can match it to the décor of the rest
of your house.
How can I tell if my Wood overhead garage door is unbalanced?
you should be able to lift your garage door with one hand, no matter what the
size. Garage door systems are specifically designed to take the weight off the
door. If you can’t lift the door easily, then it’s probably unbalanced, and you
need to call a professional garage door installer to fix it..
How do I find out what high-wind rating I need for my Wood Overhead
garage door?
In high-wind areas, Wood garage doors can be blown off their hinges –
then they become very dangerous projectiles! So special Wood garage doors are
made, using heavy-duty hardware, that can withstand winds from 75mph to 170 mph.
There are many areas, especially in the United States, that are subject to
these very high winds. These areas have local standards for Wood garage doors,
depending on the severity of the winds. You can find out your local standards by
contacting the building department of your local city hall.
Do I need to do anything after my Wood Overhead garage door is
installed?
It’s important, after your wood garage door is installed, that you totally
familiarize yourself with the operation and safety guidelines. Make sure you
have owner’s manuals for the garage door, and for the wood garage door opener,
too, if you have one.
Your manual will outline the operation and maintenance requirements you’ll
need to know to make your Wood garage door last as long as possible. Also,
garage door safety has been a source of great concern in the past. With new
technology, it’s not as much of a problem anymore, but you do need to follow
certain guidelines to avoid injuries.
What’s the best kind of Wood Overhead garage door opener to buy?
There are many Wood garage door openers on the market. Many of them are good.
Some of the more popular ones are Genie garage door openers, Liftmaster garage
door openers and Marantec garage door openers.
Which one is best for you is really a matter of choice. There are certain
wood garage door openers that are designed for certain styles and sizes of
garage doors but, on the whole, they all do the same thing – they automatically
open and close your wood door so you can comfortably get in and out of your
vehicle away from the elements.
In Conclusion
There are many choices when it comes to wood overhead garage doors. There are
wood garage doors, aluminum garage doors, fiberglass garage doors and steel
garage doors. There are many styles to choose from, too. Many people like the
retro style of the old carriage house Wood garage door. Most people have
their Wood overhead garage door match the rest of their house.
If this is too much information for you to handle all at once, then just
relax comfortably at your computer and check out all the online Wood
garage door websites. You’ll find everything you need to know about Wood garage
doors online. And if you haven’t started to build yet, you can even get Wood
overhead garage plans online. It’s all right there, at your fingertips.
So do some research and planning and, before you know it, it’ll all come
together in the shape of a beautiful Wood garage door!
Why
should I use a professional installer?
The Door Kings firmly believe that the installation of a wood
garage door is not a do-it-yourself job. A wood overhead 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 wood 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.
Garage Door Check Up/Helpful Hints
Visual Inspection
Look at the wood garage door springs, cables, rollers, pulleys and other door
hardware for signs of wear. If you suspect problems, have a qualified person
make repairs. Make sure tracks are free of grease, oil or dirt (this can cause
door(s) to bind).
Avoid a Moving Door and Keep Hands and Fingers Clear
Do not stand, walk or run under a moving wood door. Hands and fingers must
be kept clear from section joints, hinges, track, springs and other door parts.
Do Not Let Children Play With Transmitters or Remote Controls
Wood Garage door operators are not toys. Keep them out of the reach of children.
Push-button wall controls must be mounted high enough to be out of the reach of
children.Only Operate The Door If You Can See It
Keep the wood door in sight until it closes completely.
Test the Reversing Mechanism Monthly
If an object obstructs the Wood door as it is closing, the door should reverse.
Make sure the wood overhead garage door operator is equipped with such a
reversing feature. If the door does not reverse, have it repaired or replaced by
a person qualified to make repairs.
Test the Door Balance Monthly
With the wood door in the closed position and the operator disconnected, lift
the door. It should lift smoothly and with little resistance and should remain
open. If the door is out of balance, have the door system adjusted by a person
qualified to make adjustments.
Test the Force Setting Monthly
Hold up the bottom of the Wood overhead door as it closes. If the door does not
easily reverse, the force is excessive and needs adjustment by a qualified
person.
