Mid-America Garage Door

Not many people have heard about Mid-America Garage Doors. Why you ask? Well Mid-America is located in Ponca City, Oklahoma; so they are not a local company. So why does Grove City Garage Door Inc. sell their doors? We sell their doors because they have outstanding quality. Mid-America offers a different kind of garage door because the thickness of the metal is heavier gauged and will stand up to more accidental abuse. A Mid-America door is thicker metal so that also means that there is more noise reduction.

Mid-America also offers an inexpensive carriage style garage door. Since carriage style garage doors is a growing trend in the garage door market.  Mid-America Garage Doors

Right Equipment for the Job!

Having the right equipment for the job is a very important part of the garage door business. We have all of the right equipment to complete any job big or small! We own all of our equipment from years of learning what is needed and what is not needed. The high lift is used on most large commercial garage doors, it helps with lifting the long heavy garage door panels, getting to high places to reach safely, and gives a larger working space than a ladder. Keeping our employees safely working on the job is an important aspect of being in business. Our employees are just a important as our customers!

Angle Iron, what is it?

What is angle iron and why is it important to your garage door?

Angle iron is used to connect your track and garage door opener to your ceiling. Using the right gauge is important; too light of a gauge and the iron can bend, then your garage door and opener can fall on your car or you!

Pictured above is an opener with angle iron hanging from the ceiling. I used this picture to show where the angle iron is located. However, in this picture the opener is clearly hung wrong. The safety sensors should not be hanging next to the opener! We fixed this opener at one of our service calls.

Thunderstorms and Garage Doors

Do you know that a severe thunderstorm can cause problems with your garage door?

How you ask?

The garage door opener is generally plugged directly into a plug and not a surge protector. The lightning strikes and the electrical current travels. If the garage door opener is not on a surge protector, it can take an electrical surge from a lightning strike and the surge will destroy the board on the inside of the garage door opener.

We recommend having your garage door plugged into a surge protector to keep this from happening. There are some small surge protectors out there that can prevent a surge to your opener.

Another problem with thunderstorms and garage doors is the hail producing storms. The hail can cause damage to the garage door if it takes a direct hit. We have some inexpensive garage doors we can install if your garage door suffers from any hail damage over the next few days. Today, April 8, 2015 there are storms coming into the Columbus, Ohio area that are expected to produce some hail.

How Long Does a Garage Door Opener Last?

Garage door openers can fail for many reasons. The picture above shows three openers, the one on the left is 15 years old, and the two on the right are both 9 years old.

Some things that make and opener fail:
-The garage door is out of adjustment
-Poor quality opener
-Constant use of the garage door

Regardless as to why they fail, they are a maintenance item that needs to be maintained for them to last 12-15 years of use.

We offer a service call to maintain items such as the garage door, opener, springs, rollers, and all integral parts of the garage door. Our service call is fairly inexpensive at just $79.00! Garage door maintenance is key to a long lasting garage door like any other component in your home!

How our Services Work!

Do you call around for pricing to different garage door companies?

Do they give you an estimate over the phone?

When they come to repair your door is the price different than the estimate?

Do you know what is included in a service call?

I can speak for Grove City Garage Door Inc., our service calls start at $79.00.

What does our service call cover? The service call covers us getting to your home, oil and adjusting your garage door, and we will look over the functioning of your garage door. When we are there we can estimate other repairs if necessary, we will fix the problem, and we will give you the exact amount you are expected to pay at the time of service.

Does the $79.00 get absorbed if there is another issue? Yes it does, we will not charge you for a service call and a spring replacement separately. If we come to your house on a service call and figure out it's a bad spring, we will only charge you $140.00 to replace one spring or $220.00 to replace two springs.

If you have one bad spring we will always recommend to have both replaced at the same time. Why? Well when we unwind the one bad spring, we have to unwind both springs. When you unwind the springs and rewind them, there is a chance the good spring left there will break soon and we don't want to come back out in a few weeks to fix the second spring. So we always recommend to replace both at the same time!

Did you recently purchase a garage door opener and want it installed? We offer this service for $125.00 for our labor.

If you didn't purchase a garage door opener and need to purchase one, we can recommend a garage door opener that will fit your budget and your needs. There is a wide variety of garage door openers available. We carry the LiftMaster and Chamberlain brands of garage door openers.
