What type of care and maintenance is necessary for a steel door and hardware?

Good Day! So I have had some calls this week and the most popular question was maintenance on their garage door so I have pulled one of our FAQ's to help with this.

What type of care and maintenance is necessary for  a  steel door and hardware?

Answer: We recommend that you wash your steel door a minimum of one (1) time per year with: (a) One cup of Tide® (or other common detergents which contain less than 0.5% phosphate), dissolved into five gallons of warm water. NEVER BLEND CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
      

The use of a well-soaked cloth, sponge, brush (with very soft bristles) or low pressure spray washer is recommended. Once the door is washed, thoroughly rinse with clean water to eliminate the possibility of residue.

In addition, lubrication of rollers and hinges is recommended on a yearly basis. Visually inspect springs and cable for wear and binding once each year and contact a professional garage door dealer/installer if damage is suspected. Do not attempt to remove, repair or adjust springs. HIGH SPRING TENSION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

We offer service to all of our existing customers at a special reduced rate and if you would like us to come out we will perform a full safety inspection, lube & tune the door and full balance of your door for only $89! Feel free to give us a call at 877.777.3344 or visit our site at www.gdugaragedoors.com

I have a one-piece door now. Can I replace it with a sectional door?

We get this question a lot from home owners so I wanted to take a moment to address it.

Yes. We can install a sectional door for you by installing track and springs to accommodate a sectional door. Depending on the construction of your garage, other modifications might be necessary. Simply discuss this with one of our estimators prior to installation, so that any required modifications can be performed.

 

Its almost an 90% chance we can get it done, however if you absolutely need a one-piece door (canopy door) we can either make a new wood one for you or convert a new roll up steel door to a canopy door! Either way we are ready to take on your project and guarantee your satisfaction!

 The answer to this question along with a bunch others can be found on our website www.gdugaragedoors.com in our FAQ section. Hope this helps!

Scott, Cesar, & Brad finished up a project that Heather brought in for us earlier this month! These doors are commercial full view doors from Wayne-Dalton. Anodized aluminum frames, & clear glass.  We have done several of these types of doors and have a great gallery on our webpage to check out. This style of door is perfect for a contemporary home with its clean lines and contemporary color choices.

Cesar and Brad are some of our most experienced installers, they has been installing and servicing garage doors for almost a decade now. 

Both of these guys are factory trained and certified, and perform installation as well as service. Scott, well he have been installing doors forever and is always the anchor on our projects. Whenever we need some help he is there to take care of whatever we need!

Thanks a lot guys you did a great Job!

There's no place like home...

This week Scott & Kandee were off to Indiana for the International Garage Door Exposition 2011, Racing Forward. Its was a good opportunity for Scott & Kandee to get some R&R and visit some of their family and friends in Indiana. 

This year Racing Forward was filled with new products and opportunities to meet new and old friends. There were some great innovations from companies like Amarr, Liftmaster, & Janus that were really cool. We always love to find new ways to better serve our clients by providing cutting edge products and services!

At the show we were able to meet with some of our strategic partners including Amarr & Costco. It was great hear such positive plans from Costco for growth and exciting insight from Amarr! Kandee was so impressed with Costco's presentation I think she is ready to take off and start a career at Costco! = )

We were also happy to visit Liftmaster, Resource, and other manufacturers. All and all it was a great trip and we would like to thank the IDA and all the presenters for a job well done!
