The overhead door offers a practical and secure entrance to a garage space while making efficient use of available overhead storage. There are a lot of moving parts and hardware on an overhead door that make it perform as designed. The number of moving parts on even a single-panel overhead door greatly exceed those on a swinging door and consequently require more attention and maintenance. The multiple hinges for each horizontal panel, roller track on each side, rollers and axles, latches or locks, cables, and torsion springs must work together for smooth operation.
Lasting Performance Starts with Service
In order to get the most life and performance, overhead garage doors must be properly installed and serviced regularly. The installation of any door will greatly affect its performance, but the many moving components on an overhead door make the installation even more important. Overhead doors must be installed level and plumb without binding or excess force that subjects components to more pressure and wear than they are designed to handle. Any one component that wears out or fails will affect the wear and performance of the other components.

It can be quite frustrating to be stuck outside the garage in the middle of the night or stuck in the garage when it’s time to go to work.
Quality and Selection
There is likely a specific product that is best suited to meet the specific needs of any one application for overhead garage doors. In order to ensure that the best door for the job is used, it’s important to have a wide selection of products to choose from and a knowledgeable installer who is familiar with the features and benefits of each.
