Have you grown tired of that rusty or rotted garage door that never seems to work quite the way it should? If you're in need of some serious repair or maintenance, but don't want to pay a professional to do the work for you, then perhaps you can do the work on your own. Installing a new system on your own is definitely possible and only requires a few tools and the right knowledge. Within a few hours you can give a brand new look to your home.
The following steps will provide you with the basics of installing a pre-hung garage door. Remember, it's important that you maintain safety while performing this task, and always consult the instruction manual if any questions ever arise.
Wall Mounting Brackets
Position The Bottom Panel In The Doorway
Install weatherstripping on the bottom panel and position the panel in the doorway. Temporarily hold the panel in place by tapping nails through either side of the panel brackets into the door jamb. When the panel is in place, attach hinges to the upper edge of the panel.
Install The Tracks
After locating the first panel in the proper place, install the tracks for the garage door according to the instructions which should be found in the instruction manual.
Install Rollers
When the tracks have been set in place, install the rollers and any remaining brackets that either are to be installed onto the door itself or the wall frame, so that the door panels may be set into place.
Install The 1st Panel
Position one side of the panel into the tracks, and do the same for the other side.
Install The 2nd Panel
Prepare the second garage door panel by installing the rollers where necessary. When ready, lift the panel into place and insert the rollers into the tracks. You will want to get help from another person for this step.
Install the 3rd Panel
Prepare the third panel by installing the rollers as well as any brackets that are needed. Lift the panel into place and insert the rollers for this panel into the tracks. When the panel is in place, make sure the vertical tracks are fully fastened to the garage wall using lag bolts that are provided with the package At this point, make sure the door is level and the tracks are plumb.
Attach Jamb Brackets
Attach the jamb brackets and fasten them to the wall, ensuring that the lag screws are drilled into the solid framing boards for security.
Install Top Tracks
Install the curved and horizontal portions of the tracks according to the specifications set forth in the user manual. Be sure to rest the horizontal tracks on top of something so they do not swing free or fall down.
Install The Track Hanger
Check to see that the horizontal track is completely level. Attach the hanger mounting bracket to the ceiling in a solid position where the lag screws can be drilled into framing boards. Install one end of the hanger to the mounting bracket and then line up the hanger with the horizontal garage door track. Trim the hanger and then fasten the horizontal track to the hanger. Repeat this process on the other side with the other horizontal track section.
Install The Last Door Panel
When the horizontal track sections are in place, install the final door panel.
Install Torque Tube Or Tension Springs
If the garage door you are installing comes with a torque tube, you can install it according to the manufacturer specifications. If your garage door uses tension springs, you may need to call a professional because special tools are required to obtain the proper tension. Improperly installed springs can be a safety hazard for both property and people. When in doubt, call the professional.
If you have the right tools and the knowledge to complete the task, you can install that new system and give your home a new face lift.
