      Installing a Garage Door and Opener- Special Bundle - Jason Daniels

      Should You Install Your Own Garage Door?

      There are several things to consider when deciding whether to install you own garage door. First and foremost, do you have the time and ability?  The endeavor is a two person project that can be rather difficult and time consuming, even for those who are adept at household projects. At a minimum you need carpentry skills and knowledge of electronics. However, with the right tools and the instructions provided in this book, anyone can install their own garage door like a professional. 

      Installing your own garage door will save you money. Hiring a professional to install your garage door can cost upwards of four hundred dollars, which is a low figure.  Doing it on your own spares you the labor costs. You'll only have to pay for parts, which are easily obtainable at home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes, or online stores such as Amazon.com.

      Most stores sell garage door installation kits, which saves you the trouble of buying each individual part separately.

      Not only does installing your own garage door save you money, it gives you bragging rights. Putting up a garage door enhances the curb appeal of your house. When your neighbors ask you who installed your door, you get to answer with I did it myself. The response will likely cause your neighbors to be astonished at your do-it-yourself abilities, given how difficult and time consuming the project can be.

      So, if you are ready to save some money and garner some bragging rights, grab this guide, go shopping and get started.

      Safety Considerations

      While installing your garage door, always keep safety at the forefront of your mind. Follow the instructions provided in the owner’s manual and NEVER ignore the warnings contained in it, or in this book.

      Weight

      Garage doors are heavy; they can weigh over 150 pounds. During this project, make sure the door is always held steady and mounted properly so that it doesn’t roll down and crush something or someone. As with any other heavy object, when you lift a garage door, lift with your leg to prevent injury to your back.

      Torsion Springs

      No matter how good you are at home projects, do not attempt to remove torsion springs. Torsion springs are extremely tense. If they are not handled correctly, they may fly off and cause severe damage to anyone who gets in it’s way. Call an expert to release the tension on torsion springs, or to remove them all together.

      Power Tools

      While using power tools for this project, follow the appropriate safety measures for the tools. Do not use them near water, and wear safety goggles while using them.

      ––––––––

      Glass

      If you’re installing a garage door with windows you must exercise extreme caution. The glass in garage doors is very thick and heavy. If the glass breaks and falls on someone, serious injuries may occur.
