Wow! It’s a “how to install a garage door” video that actually shows how to install a garage door! Thank you for your time in doing this and the clear instructions. I am actually a fairly skilled carpenter who was too intimidated to replace my own garage door until watching this. Now I’m ready to go with a greatly-diminished fear of being decapitated by an unfortunate spring accident.

Thanks! A local garage door specialist just gave me a quote of over $2,000 to install one 8' X 7' un-insulated replacement garage door including all including hardware which was ready to hang. The previous door install already had the flag brackets, vertical rails, flashing and existing spring and shaft. The only requirement was to hang the door. All new cables, rollers and hinges came with the new door. I decided to save $2,000 by watching this video and doing it myself. It took me three hours to attach the two horizontal 2" tracks, assemble the door panels, hinges, rollers and vinyl strip floor gasket. Bravo!

I am installing a garage door for the first time on a garage built myself. I purchased the special order 10x7 iDeal garage door kit from Menards. The installation manual that came with the kit had everything except how to install the Torsion Spring. I called the manufacture of the door for this information but never received a callback. Talked to Menards and was told to contact a professional. This video was perfect. No more head ache. Thank you very much.

I’ve worked for a company that was in business for over 40 yr servings & installing ohd & entrance doors and got a first hand view of door issues in a commercial and residential setting. Learned a lot of knowledge to say the least. The owner was a perfectionist. We would typically install the vertical tracks after the second panel is stacked to ensure the panels don’t fall while stacking eliminating the use of nails. Keeping the track brackets loose for future & final adjustments. Making sure to center the door inside the garage opening & to make sure they’re equal on both side when looking from the outside. Also, the vertical tracks should not be installed directly on the concrete as water will cause rust over time. Along, with the ground will raise and lower cause track issues when the concrete pushed the tracks during freezing & thawing cycles. We also would recommend struts no matter what the manufacturer requested solely do to the fact the opener with cause stresses on the door especially when it’s used primarily. @$15 per struts will save a head ache in the long run. When winding the springs, we would use white spray paint and spray a fine thin line the length of the spring from the center bracket to the winding fitting. This shows how many turns are on the spring in case someone like the customers decides to visit during this process. Typically if the door is 7’ in height it’ll take 7 1/2 turns or so.

This, this is what I want to come and say. I am an Ironworker who does doors. Mine range from 3’x4’ to 180’x60’. But to me it seems the ones that cause the most problems are the simple panel doors and it’s usually not braced properly. Struts are so important. Not a lot of company’s will install them just to save a few bucks.

A two-man install tech job is one of the most gratifying jobs. you build routine with your secondary. after a while youre hanging a door in 45minutes together. I remember we used to do 5 garage doors a day for my building company. everything is just clockwork after a while. the troubleshooting. the winding. one is preparing the hinges on the other panel while your second is making sure the measurements are correct. we used to put the struts up after the first panel never did nails on the side though but its verbatim exact and precise work. One cutting braces with a bracecutter, your second is placing them. Shannon did a stellar job. Gave you a proper run through of how its done. Nostalgic of when i used to work on the gulf florabama area. you explained full rotations, the vice clamp, the color direction on the cable drums. i enjoyed watching this.

Mike I used to hang garage doors residential/comm. I was taught once the spring is mounted take a piece of white Chaulk and draw a straight line across the spring from left to right and as you wind the spring two or three times you will see white coils on the spring and each white coil represents one full turn .if you have to replace an old door spring look to see if it has chaulk coils and count them then read your instructions to see if they match . I hope this helps everyone.

I've put a 10x10 door and a 12x12 door up, to the point of hanging the overhead parts (I have 12ft side walls and a 20ft peak, the doors are in the middle on each end of 60x60 metal building). I installed the upright track first (as per instructions),12x12 is electric and manual chain, 10x10 is manual. I got 4 panels up on the big door before my help arrived, what a job for a 63 year old! I found out on the 10x10 door that I could stack each panel up and then put wheel and hinge on. Instructions said to mount hinge and wheel to panel and put into the track at an angle, what a pain! Your way is much better and easier that what I did. Now I just have to install top pieces, and spring bar on both, and the BIG motor on the 12x12 door, not looking forward to that!

Very nicely done Shannon. I have installed maybe 20 doors or so but over 20 years ago so watched your videos for a refresher on door and opener. Good detail and flow throughout video. Thanks and keep it up!

After tensioning springs on a double overhead door, I would like to caution you to keep your body to one side as much as possible. An accident can do a lot of damage if one of the tensioning rods accidently slips out. (one guy lost his nose, another almost severed the tendon in his thumb, etc) Both very serious injuries.

One guy at my door completely split his four head open because of that exact reason.

I send all my customers here to get a better understanding of what it takes to put a door up themselves!! Thank you for this excellent resource (:

Thank you, it is an older video but after viewing a number of other videos on the same subject, yours while a bit long, was the most complete, clear, concise and left very little to interpretation. Now I can tackle the installation of my garage door.
