About a month ago, I installed these hinges, changed my rollers to nylon with ball bearings, insulated my garage door, and adjusted the spring tension. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Smooth, quiet and NO more rattling and air leaking. Now I'm able to heat my garage EASILY is half the time - and it STAYS heated much easier.

I work on garage doors and I like how you expressed several safety factors, unplugging the motor, pulling the release and also making sure to say to NOT remove the bottom fixture! I wanted to tell you the reason why the #1 hinge has 1 "tunnel" while the rest have 2, and that's actually not exclusive to every #1 hinge. Any hinge #2 and above has 2 tunnels, 1 is for the pivot of the hinge as the panels move thru the track radius and the 2nd is the actual roller carrier, they are gradually spaced out further from the door as you go up in numbers. The reason for the spacing is due to your track, the track should gradually move away from the wall as it goes up, that is to avoid panels scrubbing the top header when opening. Since the track moves away from the wall, the hinges step out further to keep the door closer to the wall and maintain a good seal on your door when it is closed. I'm sorry for the long post, you did a great job!

I’m absolutely blown away that this video was first on my page today. I just had new doors installed two months ago on my detached heated garage, and this is exactly what I was dealing w this morning. It was crazy windy and the doors were driving me nuts. The gap was a good 1\2 inch from the seal, and that obviously caused a nasty draft. I’m glad I didn’t call company and complain. I thankfully seen this video and will be fixing it myself. I liked and subscribed, I’m going to like your channel. Thank you!

I just "stumbled" over this video and wanted to comment on the Green Hinges. I'm on my second set, as my first set stayed on the door when I moved! One of my first jobs was to swap out the garage door hinges to Green Hinges on the new location. SO much more quiet and my garage heats up MUCH quicker (AND stays warmer, too!) with one of those small 5,000W electric heaters hung from the ceiling! Think about it. IF you had something as "small" as a 1/8th in. gap (some garage doors have 1/4" or more!) around your 16 ft. door it would be like a 2 in. X 12 in. or more hole in your door. You would seal that hole immediately! But because it's "just a small gap" it often goes unnoticed and not dealt with. One other EZ fix is to use a plumbing snake to pull some of the round foam "Backer Rod" you can buy at virtually any Hardware or Home ctr. store. I like to fish a 1 inch diameter into the bottom seal of my doors. That flexible foam works wonders to restore a good seal to a sacked out lower seal. The flexible nature of the round foam also accomodates sealing around some Ice or Snow collection in winter from car tires "imprinting" snow and ice on the door's threshold.

Thanks for the video .I will be purchasing the Green hinges in the future.I noticed on your material list that you need a 7/16 drill bit this might be a little confusing for someone who is not mechanical inclined a bit drills a hole where as a you need a nut driver or as Amazon calls them ( nut setter bit ) to remove the screws .also from my past experiences I would use a nut driver screwdriver and remove the screws by hand,because if you look at the screw when you take it out it has a pilot bit on the end of the screw( this is known as a self drilling screw)and it is a little smaller in diameter than the threaded part of the screw this is so you don't need to drill a pilot hole first then install the screw for the hinge.if you use the impact it can enlarge the hole that the screw came out of.When reinstalling the screws you can use the impact but only down to about 3/4 the length of the screw then tighten the rest of the way by hand with socket& ratchet or a nut driver screwdriver to lessen the chance of the screw stripping the hole in the metal of your goor.Hope this is helpful for someone who is attempting this repair for the first time .

So take it out by hand first with ratchet/driver and put back in with drill/impact 3/4 of the way and finish it off with ratchet/driver again to set it in place snug. Thank you. This helps. I'm waiting on the sleeves to install these with the hinges.

The hinges will do a great job at closing that space on both side of the door. Otherwise you would have to readjust the tracks. Then depending on your garage door itself. Some are thick and insulated and some are basically just a thin sheet metal. If you have the cheapo door you can insulate it yourself or buy a kit and install it on the door. Either way you would need to make sure the outside seal is properly adjusted to the door. Mine was worn so I replaced it also. The seal kit is easy to replace. They start out at around $20 but I went all out and bought a better quality one for $41

Won't do much of anything for temp difference. Sounds about identical before and after, but the hinge noise is nothing compared to the cable grind when the door is fully open due to improper installation of the door. I'd be surprised if the force limits on the opener didn't need to be reset as doors aren't supposed to be super tight against the opening. Also the strut on the bottom panel is in the wrong spot.

@williamblue602 8 ай бұрын

Could you comment on the distance from the track to the door. I bought the hinges. I noticed on the Green Hinge website that the installation video recommends 3/4” from the track to the door. They state this is an industry standard. Other websites that I have looked at indicate 1/2”. The Green Hinges are substantially wider than normal hinges, so they need more room so that the rollers will fit. On my door, there is as little as 3/8” from the track to the door, so it looks like I would need to move the track out, which I am not crazy about trying. I talked with the company and they said that sometimes the hinge overhangs the door and also because the hinge is wider you need to check that the roller will fit in the hinge without binding.

Amarr Weatherguard most likely. Haas is better.

What type of garage door do you have? It looks a lot sturdier than mine. New house and builder with cheap since it a subdivision model built homes.

I would like see the angle on the roller stems when the door is open. Probably will end up wearing the inside edge of those rollers. Also I have been in the business for 30 years, when installed correctly you do not have that kind of slop between the door and the jamb

@kljunatic8157 Жыл бұрын

you always have that slop unless the garage roller is just a hair smaller than the track it rolls in.

All this desire for a quiet garage door and you don’t have a DC motor. Try the new 87504 from Liftmaster. Your 8355 is an AC motor.

Wouldn't a slightly larger roller prevent it from moving forward and backward in the track? Removing the play in the track and keeping it snug so the door cannot push in?
