    what doesnt stick to bondo?

    Not uncommon unfortunately, these ones are from a mfg'er that went under back in the 90s... Perfectly fine doors - just now have hail dings... And two garages - both attached, one to the left, one to the right of the house... One's the shop one's for parking. It's a nice setup... Except in...

    what doesnt stick to bondo?

    Knowledge needed please ;) Trying to help a customer out - fixing hail damage on unobtanium material (ie fix 4 dings or replace 5 doors so they still match) But sanded smooth it very obvious where the bondo's been layed - as the rest of the material is textured...

    Garage Door Security, Automatic door closer

    3 months old... And liftmaster? Just install the MyQ retrofit (if you have a purple button) 888LM or just add the internet gateway - if you have a yellow button. A few minutes of setup and you've got everything you need on your smartphone. Garage butlers don't work on the latest generation...

    I got garage doors today. Gap at bottom...What to do?

    High Lift to clear windows above garage door?

    Its a little beyond Just standard lift to over the windows (as balance would be really out to lunch) Its still highlift and fully treated as such, but there's a need to ensure there's enough turns on the springs - so that going past the normal top - doesn't back wind the springs. It is...

    Pickup truck crane / hoists

    Out of curiosity - mostly because I'm looking for one... Where's the middle ground units? The harbour freights are too light duty, the small hiabs (and Hyundai and... Etc etc etc) you see on the HD mechanic trucks are too expensive.

    Flipping a Garage Door Opener?

    Not quite the way you're asking... But there are ways to vertically flip the head unit to bury it in the ceiling, does require some dealer parts (and a rather expensive dealer carriage door rail), I did one recently where we installed it upside down and backwards - due to a beam in the way at...

    Anyone recognize this lower garage door seal?

    Looks like the older style Wayne Dalton 9100/9600 rubber - While possible to replace its usually way easier to replace the retainer too (its a battle, not impossible if the doors out, almost impossible installed). Local dealer here sells it on retainer not otherwise for this reason. About 12...
