Garage Door Parts Knowledge

Friday, January 30th, 2009

My friend’s son just ran into his garage door.  It wasn’t watching what he was doing I guess. He backed his VW Jetta in the door before it was through opening.  Needless to say he is going to have to get a new door for his garage.

He is probably just going to call Overland Door.  Like I said in a previous post they are in every city you can imagine.  Stanly garage door used to be around but I do not know what happened to it.  They just disappeared.  Maybe they couldn’t compete.  I don’t know.

He was pricing garage doors the other day.  He is going to spend at least $1000 on one if its going to be quality.  I told him that since he was going to have to get a new door he might as well make it a custom garage door.  The one I am talking about looks like the garage door in the picture when it is not one door but two and the swing open instead of coming down on a chain.

Speaking of garage door opener parts I am still waiting for most of you all to get back to me about the poll I asked on which brand was the best.  I have gotten some e-mails but not many.  Do you like Stanly?  Do you like Overhead?  Do you like Genie?  This is what I am trying to figure out.

Many of you have wasted space in your garage.  You can make it like a bar, a sports lounge or whatever.  Whoever said a garage had to be boring.  If you have one car you can have your car on one side and then on the other have a mini bar with a television.  Its a dream come true.  You can have a HD TV sitting up there and go out into the garage to watch the game.

There are so many garage door opener parts you can buy for your place. Choose wisely.  Do not go for the universal parts.  They will not work as advertised.  Get the exact parts and fittings you need from them.
