Many garage door openers can be repaired and may be a less expensive option. However, there are times when opener replacement is recommended.

This is to ensure the highest degree of customer safety and satisfaction due to a Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) law. Many garage door openers prior to 1993 are not equipped with infrared sensors or other external entrapment protections devices and do not meet today’s standards for garage door opener safety.

When this happens, it will put unnecessary stress on the rest of the door and on the garage door opener. Operating a door in this condition will ultimately lead to broken and damaged parts.

A garage door Tune Up is very similar to an oil change on your car when the mechanic lubricates all the moving parts so the engine doesn’t seize up.

On the garage door, we adjust the springs, lubricate the moving parts, and tighten all those loose nuts and bolts. If you have a garage door opener connected to the door, we will also test and set the machine to ensure everything is working together properly.

A garage door is the largest moving object in your home, and because of the large number of parts, installation of a garage door is highly technical. Connecting the springs can be particularly dangerous, and proper installation is critical to the performance of your door.

Professional garage door dealer/installers can typically install a door in a few hours and are careful to make sure safety requirements are met. Installations by most homeowners typically span several days and cause much frustration. In addition, incorrect installation can void certain warranties, so we recommend a trained garage door installer to handle the job for you. One of the other services a professional garage door dealer can provide is the disposal of your old garage door if you are replacing a door.

The State of Minnesota requires all new installations to have a minimum of 90 mph wind load reinforcement. This is achieved by adding “reinforcement struts” to the door sections per testing specifications. Each door is required to be tested and certified at the manufacturing plant. Wind load certification is available on most models. Please contact Reliable Garage Door at 612-808-0725 if you have additional questions.

Many manufacturers use R-values to show the energy efficiency of their product. This number is calculated based on the thickness of the insulation and its chemical properties. Therefore, most of the published R-value numbers reflect only the R-value of a section, not of the installed door. A door’s insulating capabilities can be greatly affected by the door’s construction. For that reason, Amarr’s insulated doors are built to maximize energy efficiency. Our thermal break, door section construction and insulation help keep your garage as comfortable as possible. When comparing R-values, make sure manufacturers’ R-value are calculated similarly.

A garage door opening is very large. Insulated doors will help to reduce the transfer of heat or cold air into your garage. This is important for a number of reasons:

1. If your garage is attached to your home, air in the garage can travel through the doorway to your living area. An insulated garage door will reduce the transfer of air from the outside to the inside.
2. If you use your garage as a workshop, your comfort will be a top priority. An insulated garage door will help keep the temperature in the garage within a narrower temperature range as compared to the extreme range of the outside temperature.
3. If your garage is below another room in your home, air can travel through the ceiling of the garage into the floor of the room above. An insulated door will keep temperatures in the garage fairly stable to reduce the temperature fluctuation in the room above.
4. An insulated garage door is generally quieter and has a more attractive interior than a non-insulated door.
