Kevin O’Connor lends a hand to the garage door expert with his crew installing a steel insulated door

A 16-foot steel insulated door gets installed starting with the bottom panel going into the tracks. Springs hold the weight of the door and get connected to the belt motor for a quiet opening and closing.

I really need to get a belt opener. I have a chain and when I come home at 2am it feels like the whole neighborhood could hear me come home lol

I once worked for the overheated door company… good doors and openers.

Great video. Only negative thing I have is when you don't have wood overlay OR the correct spacing the bottom caps rub the jams (or framing however you chose to word it).. (also their a good company because they will use the double horizontal for optimal spacing and better overall roll) and you'll be buying a bottom cap every few years or so. Great install and video!!

I replaced the springs on my door. In this video the torsion is being applied opposite to what I had to do. Now, maybe they're releasing some overtorque, I dunno. Also the pulleys appear to be outside the plates on the left and right ends. Maybe it's a new style of pulley that cranks up the door like a motorcycle throttle up. Hmmmm. Makes me wonder if there's more maintenance required with the pulley. Crazy new styles. It looks like there are two tracks at the top because the top door panel is bigger? "This old house?" More like "High maintenance house." But curb appeal is there for people who don't know what they're getting into.

Does anyone know what the black overlay material is made out of and where I could get this at?
Thanks for your help.

Anybody know what is that white seal around the frame is? I think I can just put that on my old door to keep the bugs out

Torquing down the springs without safety glasses?

I wish that company would come by our Gestapo HOA and convince them to replace our outdated wood swing up doors. I've been asking for over a decade and heard every excuse they could think of. There are 200+ units here and I would think a garage door company could offer a huge discount to homeowners for these many installs.

Roughly how much would this door cost?

So scary when they were winding up the spring! No safety equipment like glasses either.

I wonder how long the spring will last?

lol dude my door is 16feet by 8 feet. "Big door" LOL. And yes it does weight a lot. My springs broke a few months ago and opening the door manually was quite an effort
