Understanding Garage Door Installation

You might be forgiven into thinking that garage door installation is an easy job, which can be done by tightening a couple of screws, and adjusting some cables. However installing quite possibly the largest door in your house can be a challenging task. Whether it is manual or automatic- garage door installation comes with its shares of trials and tribulations.

Manual garage doors are those which you can pull up with a handle, and are considerably easier to install than their counterparts. They are much lighter, and are easy to lift, and install. However its lightness severely restricts the type of door that you want to have.

In contrast automatic doors are not only heavier but are much harder to install as well. The reason for this is being the fact that wires and cables need to be attached to an automatic door for it to function properly. Automatic doors are quite common nowadays due to the fact that they are extremely convenient. All you have to do is press a button, and the garage door opens itself. The only downside to a automatic door is the fact that it can be expensive, and can have high running costs. A motor is required to pull up an automatic door which further increases the cost. Another problem with automatic doors is that in case of a power outage the door refuses to budge. The automatic door although extremely convenient has its setbacks, and the selection of a certain type of door is up to the individual’s personal preferences, and wealth.

No matter what kind of garage door you want to install – just remember the fact that each alternative has its own pros and cons. If you are in need for garage door repairs call Abstract Doors. They have years of experience in dealing with problems of a similar nature.
