Garage Upkeep

We get a lot of calls for safety sensor issues. The door won't close, and other conditions.

The first thing you should do if your door will not close is to clean the debris away from the safety sensors, clean all cobwebs away, and try the door again. If the door still will not close then see if one of the sensors is red on the top. If they are both reading correctly there should be a green light showing. If you have a red light you could try to adjust your safety sensor to see the other sensor. There is a wing nut on the top of the sensor, just unscrew the nut and adjust the sensor up or down until you get a green light. Screw the wing nut back on and try the door again. If it still will not go down, then look on your wall button and make sure it is not in the lock mode. The wall button has a lock and unlock button on it that can be pushed to lock the garage door. If this lock button is engaged, simply push the button back to the unlock position. Then try the garage door again, if you are still encountering problems, you should call us.

 If you have done all of the above things and your garage door is still not going down, then call us for a service call: 614-877-0350! Our service call is $79, we will check out the entire door, oil and adjust, and diagnose your garage door problems.

If you are just fishing around the internet here are some definitions to help you choose the right garage door for your home:

Insulation: Garage doors come in insulated and non-insulated varieties. There are foam backer inserts for insulation (not recommended), polystyrene, and polyurethane. Polystyrene is the most common of insulation in a garage door (recommended), and polyurethane is a heavier insulation (also recommended). Insulation is a great way to keep your garage at cooler temperatures and warmer temperatures especially if your garage is heated or cooled.

Wood: There are manufacturers of traditional wood door such as Clopay. We are a dealer for Clopay so we can get a wood door at your request. A wood door does require maintenance and may not be within a budget. Wood doors can be expensive and hard to take care of. If you are choosing a wood door, be prepared to stain the wood door every year. A wood door is also heavier and may require a commercial opener with heavy duty springs.

Composite: A composite door is a door that has a steel undercarriage and a wood overlay glued to the outside of the steel to make the door look like wood. A composite door requires less maintenance than a wood door, but still give the look of a wood door.

Steel: A classic steel garage door can come insulated or non-insulated. Steel garage doors also come from the factory painted with your choice of color. Steel garage doors are available in short and long panel, with windows or without and are low maintenance. A steel garage door only requires a once a year adjust and oil to make the garage door operate smoothly from year to year.

Aluminum: An aluminum door is recommended in high humidity and caustic environments, the material is rust proof and corrosion resistant. An aluminum door goes well on a coastal home that is exposed to the elements. You can put in a full view glass panels for a modern look on your home.

Windows: Windows in a garage door can add light to the garage, and a distinctive look to any garage! Windows are also insulated, can be frosted or not frosted, and have many different inserts available for a different look!

Color: Garage doors come in many different colors ranging from a traditional white to a wood look of oak! It is up to you on how you want your home to look: contemporary, modern, or traditional!
