Installation typically includes removing the old door, assembling and fitting the new panels, installing tracks and cables, and ensuring proper alignment and adjustment for safe operation.

What types of panels are available for garage doors?
Garage doors come in various panel styles, including raised, recessed, and flush designs. The choice depends on your preferred appearance and the structural needs of your garage.

Why is alignment important during installation?
Proper alignment ensures smooth operation and prevents stress on the cables, tracks, and opener system. Misalignment can lead to early wear and functional issues.

How do I maintain my new garage door?
Routine maintenance includes lubrication of moving parts like hinges and rollers, periodic adjustment of cables and springs, and checking for wear or damage.

Do the cables need to be replaced with every new installation?
Not always, but it’s common to replace cables during installation to ensure optimal performance and safety, especially if the old ones show signs of wear.

How often should the door’s lubrication be checked?
Lubrication should be checked every few months. Proper lubrication of hinges, rollers, and springs helps reduce friction and extends the life of the door system.
