    Do you get the dread that your great grandchildren are going to have to deal with your tools, hardware and general stuff?

    Garage door question- low Overhead

    Exactly. Yes to horizontal tracks the one of which only carries the top rollers of the top section. For some different reasons I’d really like to use the older track if it’s going to work with my door that originally was using low overhead hardware
