Overhead Garage Door

[7mmrum]

Anyone know any companies that provide overhead garage door kits. I'm trying to find a company that if I provide the measurements of the opening that they can provide all the hardware for the garage door. Opening is approx 15x15, and I'm thinking of an overhead door due to simplicity. I has hopening to find something where the garage door is in panel sections that is then bolted together during assembly.

Looking for something no frills of design and asthetics.

Try this company: Overhead Door Dealer Locator

I have their doors in my shop and really like them. They are more expensive than "barrel" or roll-up doors, but you don't have the issues with the barrel not wanting to unroll and come down. I think I posted a link for you local dealer.

I purchased a couple clopay's a couple of years ago from these guys:

Roll-up Garage Doors & Metal Garage Kits Available Online

No problems, at that time I was able to get more door for my $ than trying order from HD or Lowes. I ordered the EZ-Set tensioning system on the doors.

I have also found the local garage door guys to be competitive as well, especially if you purchase the garage door opener and installation as a package deal. The guy I used, had several options from builders grade (good enough for a barn) to high end. When you figure they can install two doors in a couple hours without having to make the 3 trips for more pieces of angle iron etc. that I end up making.

Edit: The local guy came out and checked measurements before ordering the doors as they could come in custom sizes for roughly the same amount of money.

Yeah, we need to know what the question is before we can give the clearance to post.

LOL:laughing: first the Overture, I have a 3 yr. old 12'x12' with a 8500 Liftmaster opener, guess they call that a Jack-shaft style, one problem or another every year IMO due to bad installation by the door Co. that gave a tail light guarantee.

Wake up time for the movie. What I did> Last week the door started binding when it got almost down then reversed because one cable spool slipped a little, I pulled the door down, unwound BOTH springs, got the door nice and level, put tension back on BOTH cable spools and really tighten down the bolts on the spools, re-wound both springs, tighten those bolts down good. Door goes up&down good, stays halfway.

Problem> With the door up, opener engaged, then push the opener button, the door starts to come down about 6", then the cable slacken's taken tension off the >Cable Tension Monitor< then the door reverses back up. Now the ten dollar Question, where is the cable slack coming from when the door starts to come down around the corner? When I pull the door down by hand, after the first 6-10 inches, the cable stays tight rest of the way down holding the full weight of the door.

Solution A> get free input from TBN) (Solution B> By pass the Cable Tension Monitor,) (Solution C> Get another door Co. to come fix it $3-$400.00,)
(Solution D>Elect Donald Trump, get a door Co. to fix it, and make Mexico pay for it.:thumbsup: Did I get the clearance to post?:laughing:

Can you post a picture of the cable tension monitor mounting location? I have that same operator and have had 0 issues (installed the door and operator myself)
Perhaps the monitor is mounted wrong
