I began by removing the old garage door and hardware, and cleaning the opening thoroughly. I then checked the framing to ensure it was level and square. Once I was satisfied with the framing, I proceeded with the installation process.
Based from Garage Door Repair Fort Lauderdale FL, I started by installing the vertical track on both sides of the opening and attaching the brackets to the track using screws. I made sure the brackets were level and plumb before proceeding. Next, I installed the horizontal track above the opening and attached it to the brackets using screws. I checked to make sure the horizontal track was level and parallel to the ground.
The next step was to install the spring system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This involved installing the torsion bar, winding the springs, and installing the cable drums. I was careful to follow the instructions carefully, as improperly installed springs can be dangerous.
Once the spring system was installed, I began installing the panels. I lifted the first panel into place and aligned it with the track. I secured the panel to the track using screws and installed the next panel, aligning it with the first panel. I attached the panels to each other using hinges and continued installing the panels until I reached the top panel.
I installed the top panel by attaching it to the hinges on the top of the previous panel. I then attached the top fixtures and hardware to the top panel, including the rollers, hinges, and cables. I made sure the cables were properly attached to the cable drums and that they were properly tensioned.
The next step was to install the bottom seal. I attached the bottom seal to the bottom panel using screws, making sure it was properly aligned and that there were no gaps for air or water to enter.
Finally, I tested the door by opening and closing it several times. I made sure it operated smoothly and that there were no problems with the spring system or hardware. If I had noticed any issues, I would have made any necessary adjustments or repairs.
Overall, as stated in Garage Door Repair Fort Lauderdale FL, installing a wooden garage door was a challenging but rewarding experience. I was able to save some money by doing it myself, and I learned a lot in the process. However, I would only recommend this project to someone with advanced DIY skills, as it can be quite complicated and time-consuming.
