Hey brother, you ever do window replacements on garage doors? New to the game and not too many videos on it. Wasn’t too hard but always love to see other folks tips and tricks..
oh yeah, thats not common, yet it’s common, lol. Pretty easy honestly. If you have a local vendor you just take the measurements and/or pictures of the windows to the vendor and they should be able to cut you the glass you need. If all else fails i have actually bought a piece of plexy glass at home depot and cut it for a customer myself. Customer was just as happy and it looked great. The outside frame of the glass, on the garage door, usually either pops, or unscrews off. Usually pretty straight forward sir!
Yeah man I have done windows. It’s bot bad at all. Maybe I will do a video on it here shortly so that content will be available and helpful. Thanks for the engagement!
Great video thanks ! Do you have a list of fastners you always make sure to carry? Also which garage door parts do you usualy keep on the truck and which ones do you order as needed? Thanks !!!
Hey Sonny, work duty called and I got insanely busy sun up til sun down so haven't had a chance to post the video. So in short, you need several lag bolts to shoot into studs. Short ones and long ones. About 1 1/2 inches and around 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches long. Also, several 1/2in nuts and bolts to help build motor mount. Several 1/2 and 9/16in nuts and bolts about 3-4inches long to help bolt two springs together if installing two springs for one. Get you some carriage bolts in 1/2 in or 9/16in as well to mount the end bearing plates onto the tracks. And get you some self tap screws. They are a must and a huge help. I'll still do the video and talk about which tools would be good to carry on your truck etc. But for now I hope this helps. Thanks
@@dapperdudesgarage just the adapters. I’ll have to check again. I spent almost an hour looking at stores in the area. Can only find a few sizes. Might have to go online.
@@charlie6432 yeah, but it is truly amazing having ask your sockets have their own adapters. I live doing anything to increase how fast i work. Anything to make my work more efficient
yeah I remembered later about a file. However, I actually use a battery powered grinder mostly to file down damaged torsion bars. A lot of times I work in my videos on a basic level because I believe it better relates to newcomers. But, yes, a file is completely vital and I left it out. Terrible me.
I have winding bars, but man my surewinder has been a life saver 😅
Thx man, and that’s a 12pt 7/16 😊
Thank you! This video helped me a lot lmao. I usually forget where I put my tools all the time
no prob! hopefully you’re not like me and leave your tools laying in random spots while on the job
This explains how you can be so fast at any job out there. And why I'm so slow! 😂
Nice list I would suggest a cutting grinder I never leave home without it… lol
So useful

thank you, Sonny for your question and your engagement. I’ll make a quick video on this and try to post it either tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you so much for your help! Glad to hear business is booming! All the best.
Where did you buy the socket adapters? I cannot find the 7/16 or 9/16 anywhere.
Are you talking about for the ratchet?
Or just the actual socket adapters because they should be at a local Home depot or Lowe’s

No file?
