How to install a new garage door?

I just buy a garage door, how to diy to install the garage door by myself?

Answer:

I have attach one good article for your reference.How this can help you.

Sources:http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/rm_door_window_installing/article/0,1797,HGTV_3684_1395171,00.htmlHosts Pat Simpson and Jodi Marks show how to install a new, safer garage door that has been designed for do-it-yourselfers. For safety reasons, they recommend hiring professionals to remove the old door.

Take Measurements

  1. We began by taking the measurements of the door opening. We started by measuring the door opening width and height.
  2. Next, we measured for the side room for the installation of the vertical track and the spring.
  3. We then measured for the headroom, which is the distance between the top of the door opening and the ceiling. You should have about 10 to 12 inches of headroom available depending on the spring system you’re installing.
  4. Finally, we measured for the backroom. You need at least the door height plus 18 inches for proper installation.

Prepare Door Sections

  1. Our first step in preparing the door sections was to temporarily attach the stops to both sides of our opening.
  2. Laying the first section over covered sawhorses, we attached the hardware using the supplied sheet metal screws.
  3. Next, we attached the #1 hinge to the pre-punched holes along the top edge of the section.
  4. We attached a lift handle on both sides of the door section using the supplied fasteners.
  5. Next, we carefully lifted and set the bottom section in the opening so that it was centered from side to side against the stop molding.
  6. We used a 4′ level to be sure that our door section was level.
  7. To temporarily hold the section in place, we drove a16d nail into the frame and bent it over the section.

Install Door Sections

  1. We placed the second panel on top of the first and drove nails into the side jambs to hold it in place; then we installed the third section. Be sure to check the numbers on the hinges and install them in the proper order.
  2. When we got to the last panel, we placed it over the sawhorses and attached the top roller bracket.
  3. We then placed the last door panel on top of the others, drove in a nail for temporary support, and attached the hinges from the top of the previous section to the bottom of the last section (figure A).
  4. Finally, we placed a roller in the top and bottom brackets and in the outer tubes in each of the hinges at the ends of each section.

Install Torsion Springs
  1. We began assembling the torsion tube by pushing the tube sections firmly together in the coupler, drilling pilot holes and securing them with screws.
  2. We prepared the torsion spring assembly by sliding the torsion spring, winding unit and cable drums onto the shaft.
  3. We carefully placed the spring assembly and tube in each bracket above the door (figure E) and then tightened the screws in the cone to the torsion tube before securing the spring to the bracket.
  4. We attached the cables starting with the left side. We pulled the cable up from the bottom bracket and tightened the setscrew on the drum.
  5. Next, we inserted our drill into the winding unit and wound the appropriate number of turns to set the tension for the spring.
  6. Finally, we installed the tube retainers on either side of the door.

Final Touches

  1. We secured the stop molding around the perimeter of both garage openings using 3d galvanized finishing nails. The stop molding will help seal the garage from the elements.
  2. To attach the interior slide bolt, we secured it with screws on the end style of the door and then tested its operation. We repeated the same procedure for the slide bolt lock on the other garage door.
  3. To finish this project we applied a coat of primer to the raw wood trim around our opening. After it had completely dried we applied a finish coat of paint.

Garage door opener just hums..?

The Garage door of my house opener just hums… doesn’t lift the door.

The power is on,becasue the light on the garage door is still on.

The Remotes as well as the door opener on the wall all function same. I can manually lift the door.

Answer:

I think the situtation could be the gears are out and the motor is running but not moving the door. Take the cover off and if a bunch of white stuff falls out, the gears are gone. You can get gear kits for around 25-30 dollars depending on which brand you have

Does garage door opener must do auto-reverse when it rolls down?

My house buyer inspector checked my house garage door opener, and said that my garage door opener does not auto-reverse when some object (like hands) try to block at the bottom of the garage door when it rools down, but not interfering the laser beam !!

My garage door opener does reverse when laser beam detects anything when door goes down, but does not reverse when object are not in the middle of the laser sensors. Is this violating the building code ? Is this supposed to cause concerns of hosue inspection ? It is GENIE opener and do not know the model number, what can I do to make it reversable when object blocks, but not in between the laser sensor ?

Answer:

You need to reduce the downward force setting. Refer to your instruction manual. There are two dials on the panel, near where the wires go into the machine. Turn them a little, then test the door. You should be able to stop it with your hands, and make it reverse.
IT’s not violating the building code, but it’s something the buyers can use against you.

What is the best paint for the steel door?

What is the best paint for the steel door?

I have cheacked at rustoleum oil-based, but I’m still not that familiar with steel material. So can any one assist me to let me know what is the durability of paint. Frequency of rusting?

Answer:

You can use the rustoleum primer and spray paint for metal. I think the metal wont be rusted into two years.

Of course, it can keep not rust only as long as the surface not gouged or scratched.Once the seal is broken and the metal exposed and moisture gets to the bare steel,that is when you will have to touch up to prevent rust. But that is the good thing about the rustoleum, it inhibits rust and stops any existing rust.
