Overhead Door
Sacramento
We service all
brands and custom made overhead garage doors. We
can make custom wood doors if your older door cannot be
repaired. Our factory is local and is in downtown
Sacramento. We invite you to come down and watch your door
being made.
Most typical overhead garage doors are extremely heavy and
can range in weight between 300 and 400 pounds. Some of the
more modern models come in wood, steel, aluminum and fiberglass
with the main materials being wood and steel. Wood comes in
more varieties and is much more aesthetically pleasing but
requires more maintenance. Maintaining a wood door requires
painting from time to time to keep it looking good.
In contrast, steel doors are built to last longer and may
provided additional security. Most manufacturers of steel doors
have done a great job of making the doors look natural like
their wood counterparts. Some of the drawbacks of a steel door
are repairs can be more expensive if you dent the door and
parts are definitely more costly as well as the labor to fix
the door might be slightly more. Not to worry though as we can
make the same type of door cheaper and better using wod if you
desire.
Installing an overhead garage door should be left to
professionals who know the dangers that exist during
installation. Some of the overhead door dangers during
installation are due to the spring’s ability to uncoil and
damage anything in its path. Recently one of our customers was
injured while adding tension to his spring. Call us and we will
work somthing out quickly to get your spring adjusted.
Overhead doors have some new advanced features making them
an attractive door for the safety conscience. There is an
infrared beam transmitted from the bottom of the tracks to a
receiver to determine if there is something in its path. The
door then stops and returns to a fully open state. An automatic
door opener is always recommended when replacing an old door
and you can be assured of long life as long as your overhead
door is properly lubricated.
