Doors come as complete systems... They'll have new tracks, all brackets, all bearings, all rollers, all hinges, door face, headshaft, springs, Cables, drums and weatherstrip... Backhangs may or may not be reused... Now ask the questions because some will shortcut (and it'll cost you money in...

Re: What did you do in your garage today? Lol she can fight with my wife... Last pic I saw was from 18' in the air and aimed at the row of super birds/roadrunners and Daytona's... Thats when I knew I had to get an invite... Its a huge quonset and he's got everything... Unfortunately - still...

Re: What did you do in your garage today? Theres a farm near me - looks completely nondescript struggling farmer... With an old military surplus quonset hut... That has every year make and model of 60s and 70s Mopar muscle in it (most apparently low mileage)... I've heard the stories, ive seen...

Depends on the brand but most cover 1 ¾" commercial definitely should. Hard to say on center spring pad - on a 14x14 it could have a center coupler and or 4 spring configuration - depends on how its been ordered, but at least 2x12 on center, have some leftover 2x6 on hand in case its another...

Never, but range has been an issue in recent years - the triple frequency really does give you better range and futureproofs (kinda like all those red button liftmasters that stopped working when Homeland reclaimed 390mhz back in 05). I'm not 100% sure, but I've heard some range issues have...

That and it's... What 12$ per door in 2x6's? it's nice cheap insurance too :)

It doesn't have your address, just your email and the serial number of the gateway... Your paranoid :)

Re: What did you do in your garage today? Not my garage... Installing a new chamberlain whisper drive yesterday... But I had to snap a pic and share... One of those moments you need to be sure all your tools are squared away tethered and not about to get butter fingered ;) It was more taken...

Generally the framing detailed for the doors is to bring everything onto the same plane - also lags into the end of a 2x6 tend to not hold as well as into the face. So... If theres an adequate spring pad thats on the same plane as the jambs - not necessarily. But it is a best practice - and...

Well this fell into my lap... How could I say no... cost... "Get it the f*ck out of my way" How could I say no at that price? (Don't start on the piles... Yes had to shove around the garage to accomodate some unusual projects; and re-jigging a bunch of storage shelving to accomodate)...

Liftmaster/chamberlain/craftsman - all the same... come from the same factory, as long as the build date is 98+ (once said 96+ not sure what changed) should be fine. But no - doesn't work with other brands (that aren't chamberlain derived) - there's a little more going on that just an...

Its about a 5 minute install - 2 screws on the wall station... Two wires to disconnect old and install new... Then reinstall wall station... Then plug in internet gateway to Ethernet and power... Setup account at website, enter serial # on gateway, install phone app, log in... Press learn on...

We went the other way... An assortment of WiFi cameras, a old PC as a server and a second WiFi router... My phone app alerts me if something's out of place. I get emailed pics /video of people coming to the door (which then get forwarded to the parents of the nickynicky nine doors artist) My...

I dont understand the love around here for brush seal... it doesn't prevent drafts, it's a Brush fer christ sake... Your local door place can probably source you 3 grades of weather strip. Left is a single fin steel vinyl - it's ok, bit easier to work with... Right is the PVC - that you...

Last few I did on ICF, ended up installing a typical 2x4 or 2x6 backframing - longer (6" i think) 1/2" anchors at 6' intervals - and just sandwiched the foam. One of those has been running strong under my care for 6 years now... It's actually gotten 2 new door faces since (forklift incidents)...

I didn't have any luck with saran wrap (or the Kirkland equivalent) - stuck and left pieces... But a ziplock seems to be thick enough to let go nicely... Thanks for that one! As for number - in the 6-10 range, not a huge number, thankfully.

Not a fan of genies - some work well and go forever, but if/when they need parts - almost impossible... They seem to rejig their whole line every few years and discontinue the old... I'm generally telling my customers to stick to chamberlain - who also make craftsman (about the only difference...

Pictures... Is it always the same or does it change summer/winter? I just had one door I fixed - dealer had installed one 2½" strut - manufacturer was calling for 4 @ 3" struts for the door... Made a significant difference once installed...

Because its extremely labour intensive, and a specific kind of artistic skil... And creates the biggest mess...

Or... Just grab a solar led light for 10$ and not have to jerry rig ;) We've got one of the solar NiMH LED floodlights on our rv - works great... Switch broke - comes on every night at dusk, runs about 14 hours... Still going strong 2years later...
