With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are buying all kinds of vehicles, and the installation of garage doors has also becoming a concern. Because the installation of garage doors involves home security issues, professional installation services are very important. This article will introduce you to the installation procedure one step by one step of a garage door and the advantages of professional installation services.
1.Garage door installation steps:
（1） Measuring the dimensions of your garage door
Before you install your garage door, the first thing you need to do is to measure the dimensions of your garage door, the height and the width. Measure the height and width of your garage door to make sure it fits the dimensions of the garage you are buying. If the door size is incorrect, it will affect the installation and using of the door.
（2）Preparing installation tools and materials
When installing a garage door, you need to prepare the appropriate tools and materials. Commonly used tools include electric drills, screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, etc. Materials include door body, guide rail, motor, remote control, etc.
（3）Install the door panels, tracks, and springs
Measure the width of the door panel and the opening, and confirm the dimensions reserved from both sides of the opening to the edge of the door panel. And mark it on the door stack.
Make another mark 15mm toward the wall at the mark on the door stack. The inner edge of the straight rail should be aligned with this mark. Install the vertical track on one side first, and find a level at the two top openings before installing the vertical track on the other side. In order to make the door panel move freely, the vertical track is not vertical to the ground but slightly tilted into the warehouse. The tilt angle is based on the principle of coordinated and smooth movement of the door body up and down, and can be adjusted after the door panel is installed.
Find the bottom plate, install the bottom seal and bottom wheel frame. Fix the lower half of the hinge on the base plate first. Note that the hinge numbers should be arranged from bottom to top.
Put the second door panel into the vertical track, fix the hinge, and then level the door panel. After confirming the level, you can install the third and fourth door panels. The two ends of each door panel should be aligned, and the last door panel should not be installed.
Fix the hanger angle irons on both sides of the door top, put the spring, adjusting flange, fixed flange, middle bracket, wire wheels on both sides, and bearing brackets on both sides on the steel pipes, then lift the entire balancing system. The bearing bracket is fixed on the hanger angle iron and the middle bracket is fixed on the wall. In order to avoid obstacles when installing the motor, the position of the middle bracket should be 100mm to the left.
Use a straight plate to connect the straight curved rail interface, and connect the hanger angle iron between the bearing bracket and the curved rail. After installing one side of the curved rail, confirm that the curved rail is level before fixing it. The level of the curved rail on the other side does not need to be measured. You only need to find the level with the first curved rail at the top.
Install the last door panel and install the top pulley frame. Adjust the distance of the top pulley so that the fifth door panel can be close to the hole.
The door body and guide rails are the main components of the garage door. First, you need to fix the tracks on the garage wall, and then install the door panels on the rails. You need to connect the panels with hinges, and screws.
When installing the door, you need to pay attention to the balance and stability of the door, which means you have to make sure the springs are installed correctly.
Please note that installing torsion springs is very dangerous! Please be sure to follow all safety procedures. In addition to necessary installation tools, professional installation skills are also very important, so it is best to hire professional installers for installation.
This is usually one spring for a single garage door and a pair of springs for a double garage door. Each torsion spring is painted a different color based on size. The left and right springs are marked in black and red respectively. When looking from inside the garage, black should be on the right and red on the left.
It must be noted that if the spring is installed incorrectly, the door will not work properly and may cause personal injury.
Start by releasing the tension on the spring. Next, carefully slide the shaft to the side until it protrudes from the end plate. Lubricate each side of the end plate and perform spring tightening.
（4）Install the motor and remote control
The motor and remote control are key components of your garage door. When installing the motor, you need to fix it on the roof of the garage and connect the power supply and controller. The remote control can conveniently control the opening and closing of the garage door.
（5）Test the installation effect of the door
After completing the installation of your garage door, it needs to be tested. Test the door’s opening and closing effect, balance and stability. If problems are found, adjustments and corrections need to be made in time.
