Before you jump into taking wooden garage doors down
July 29th, 2010 by admin
Before you jump into taking wooden garage doors down, figure out if you have a torsion or extension spring system. If it is single torsion, call a professional to come and reduce the tension. This is because the tension is so great in this system, if you try to release it yourself, you can be seriously injured. There are two extension springs so the tension is divided up and less forceful with each spring. Take the measurements of the damaged door before you order a new one. That is the best way to know you are getting the right size. You also need to decide if you want to stick with wood cheap garage door or go with different material such as steel or aluminum. There are so many choices now that you can get pretty much whatever you want. There are even wood-grained metal doors so you get the insulation of the metal and less upkeep with the beauty of wood.
