Normally, the window section is the 4th panel up, so you can look out without opening the door.
Important so the windows are eye height for most people
Just a heads up Home Depot & Lowe’s have installation panels kits for them very easy to install and helps a lot with heat. Trust me we live in Texas and know the notice the difference. Great Job.
Maybe you like the window at the top but it would make me crazy! Garage panels are interchangeable so you could lower the windowed panel down to where you could see out of it…
Nick & Jen, I sat and applauded you when the garage door went up and down with no problem. Nick you may have taken all day but the end result was No Injuries. When I worked with my Dad installing Cinema Projectors and massive Screen Rigs that had massive Springs to control the cable that opened and close the Tabs (Curtains in front of Screen) safety ruled. Dad always said it will take as long as it takes because our lives are more important. So in my book you and Jen did the right thing. Love how it looks from the outside. Hope you both enjoyed our Shower and Meal. Take care see you soon ❤️💙xx
I've known people who have been badly injured from the springs. Please be careful
Nice job guys, When you go for supplies buy foam panels to cut and put inside the panels and then tape them It will keep alot of warmth in side the winter time. 🏆👍♥️
A lot of people put the window part down at eye level so you can see out. It looks great!
Nick, You might want to switch the top two panels to get more light and also to see out of the door.
Being that is an uninsulated door it will be super hot or cold in the garage depending on the season. The solution is simple. Get some insulated panels (think foamboard with one side foil covered). The trick is to measure them as if you can slide them inside the lips of each section. Afte cutting it out for each section, cut the panels into 1/4s. This will allow you to slide each piece into the panel space and as they slide into place the overlaps mesh up and you have a full panel again but inside the edge lips. It will not be a perfect fit so a shim will be necessary to wedge them into place. Now you can just tape up the seams. I glued balsa wood panels over the foamboard and them caulked the edges and finished with priming and painting. All the materials used are lightweight and will barely affect the door movement. It will however reduce the heat transfer. Just remember which side that the foil goes on. You will notice the difference right away when the doors are done. The heat will stay in or the cold will stay out.
Great job you two!
Torsion springs can be dangerous but being cautious and focusing it's not to bad.
White door trim would match the corners and door. Just saying.
For the final fit, put a few drops of light oil on all door wheels and hinges, its surprising how much the door will operate more easily, you can put more spring tension or take it off ass required , here in the UK you can also adjust the springs by half a turn with care if you need too, so I don't see why you can't do it as well, as this style of door was invented in the US many years before we had them over here (we just copied your design) also you can add more stays ect to make the track more secure, any decent hardware store will have the angle with holes in it, so you don't have to go back to the manufacturer and pay through the nose to get more, great job by the way, and you are right its not to dangerous if you have common sense and take your time.
Good afternoon, Nick, Jen, and family😊 your cat is beautiful love watching you guys you guys are doing an awesome job. You always do Nick always figures it out and Jen he couldn’t do it without you.
To align the tracks easier, install the vertical support, then start rolling the door up (after winding the springs) so the door sets the track width perfectly then install the angled supports.
To prevent corrosion due to snow or water, you can put a rubber seal on the last section of the door, the one that touches the ground. Good luck with the doors.
Great idea buy two if you get alot of ice. Because they do crack
Good job installing the door...,Don't forget to put on the bottom weather seal, you also need the top and sides weather seal on the outside of the door .
You did an A plus job.............many many people would not even tackle this. You did such an excellent job.........................love it.......................
The main thing is to make sure when it's going up and down that the rollers are not being pulled out of the hinges. And don't EVER try to adjust the spring without the Door locked down so it can't go anywhere. If it's moving to easy back the springs of a little and if it's hard to go up give the springs a couple more turns. Great job guys. Oh good thing for maintenance is silicone spray the springs about twice a year.
Nice work with the door installation. The torsion springs can be dangerous if one is not careful. Nick did it exactly right, he was off to the side as he was rotating the bars to twist the spring and taking it slow, one at a time. Be careful and delibrate with safety in mind like Nick did and all will go well. The high lift will be more of the same just with the extension on the side rails. As it will be up closer to the ceiling heigth, it will be easier to secure the side rails up top. Are you going to be using Lift Master Jack Shaft openers? They are excellent and you would not be disappointed; they are what I use on my shop (12yrs) and the large shop I built at my sons house (3yrs) with no problems. Good luck with the additional doors and be safe. Have a great week and I'll see you on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
A piece of rebar makes a nice turning bar. It needs to be at least 3 feet long. Each turn is 1/4 turn. Use a white paint pen to draw a line across the spring at the middle on the room side. As the spring tensions up it will change the line. You will have to find out the number of ideal full turns to get the correct tension. Ideally, if the garage door is full up, it will not roll back down on its own until you move it. You can put the doors in from the bottom up and stack them. You just install the rollers (hopefully nylon for quietness) on the sides as you go. Bottom is a single set and the next ones up to the top are the hinges between panels. Final position of the tracks from side to side has zero rubbing and a smooth movement. Most door sets have some play room built into the tracks.
Great job on the garage door. I was thinking Trent and Allie had to deal with the garage door spring and alot of adjustments.
You did a great job on the door. You said it perfectly. Just take your time go slow and it’s easy. You should use white coil stock and wrap the wood before you put up the door end gaskets.
We’ll kids, another great job with focused purpose and great skill. Now all you need is an insulation kit so it’s a lot quieter and warmer in the winter. Probably need kits for all three doors. The door looks great!
Looks awesome!!!
I watched Trent and Allie when they put theirs in and it was frustrating for them!!
I know the tension part was the scariest!!!
Good Nick.....great
Nick you could have joined the wood ends coming down from the ceiling with a piece of wood about 30cm away from the slide, to ensure the bar didn't swing in or out, without cancelling out the existing.
Looks great ❤ I was so nervous for you too 😊
Nick and Jen. That was awesome. You guys did a great job putting that garage door up. Bravo……Bravo!👍❤️
Awesome job. The learning curve has been conquered. 🎉. You should be very proud of your accomplishments.
Even cowboy Trent from Trent & Allie was very cautious with the tensioning of his roller doors. He mentioned how dangerous it is. He also had lots of trouble with getting his automated roller doors to rise correctly.
The painted strip on the springs serve multiple purposes. Identified, location use and spring strength but are used to tell how many twists you applied. Count the painted coils now and you can see.
Awesome Nick, it looks amazing. Great Job!!
You should consider putting the window panel one level down so its at eye level. You will appreciate the windows better because you can see out of them.
Jen I know Mr 90% is so over it, but get that last piece of siding done under the deck near the stairs. You can then give the whole thing at final tick 😅. Awesome job on that door, two more to go 🤭 that timber brace from the ceiling will be a pain in the a$$ to plaster around, but agree, only way it could be done. Thanks for sharing guys, until next week. 👍
The garage door looks great you both did a great job 👍👍👍
My garage faces south. Garage would get so hot in summer. I cut 2" foam board and stuffed in into the inside of door to help cool things off.
Well done team. That white line across the springs allows you to count the number of turns - count the marks.
Hi From the uk the door look superb, you need to paint them white to match the window trims and the doors will look so much better and be weather proof.. please
Nic Jen...you've done amazingly well ❤
Well done on the garage door and if you stain the timber frame then it will blend in with the outside colour contrast
The framed, clear opening should be the exact width of the panels. Anything less, you are narrowing the designed door width. The pvc/ vinyl weather strip will then seal the door.
Well done guys you’ve done an excellent job and don’t listen to them people saying that you couldn’t do it
Looks great!! Can't wait to see in person!
Make sure to oil the springs, hinges, and rollers
On the bottom of door number 1, you should have a rubber seal to keep the snow and rain out.
friends. you are great. you are able to cope with problems.
I think i would switch the top two panels around so the windows were lower. Also ive not seen the lock on the bottom panel , usually like waist high. Should be a slot in the guide track for it to slide through.
Nice work. Jen n Nick white paint would look like they always been there. 👍
Use the 3,4an 5 inch, triangle rule for brace. 3 inch on one leg. Then 4 inch on the other leg. Then measure across should be 5 inchs.
Spring installation instructions per an installation guide..
Red is RIGHT Wound, but goes on left side - One thing to remember with garage door torsion springs and end drums is that they have paint marks on the end for a reason. All the red pieces should go on the left side of the garage when looking up from the interior. So in this case, put all the pieces back on the shaft so when looking at them from left to right they go: red drum - red spring - center bearing - black spring - black drum.
My thoughts:
Although the Red signifies RIGHT wound, I think it makes more sense if the Red stood for RIGHT side and then the R in red would stand for Right side, but would be a left hand wound spring.
I like the wood trim around the doors, matches the deck.
Next time you’re at Home Depot, you need to purchase a can of spray white grease for the coils and wheels. Need to be sprayed every six months.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Good night Great weekend 🤟👍💪💪💪😎♥️
Hell yeah, Nick, you killed it, bud! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
I could be wrong, but I think Trent did the same exact thing during his garage door installation. Must be a common mistake. Don’t slow down you guys are doing awesome!
Poop happens😎
the bottom panel has to have a rubber strip attached to it it keeps it up off the concrete and the water from coming in and the wind should have a Rubber seal in that box
Lazer level may give you the alinement you need.
Awesome job!❤❤❤
Awesome work you guys. Love from Vegas. Maybe try a laser on the edge of the rails to set the supports. Prefab your supports on the ground and screw the top in last. Might be easier. I dont know. Just trying to help. O. And yes. Paint the outside trim white. You guys are awesome. God bless.
Thanks for sharing, the garage door looks amazing and in need of white trim to match upstairs window trim(Nick). You have the world's best Kitty Supervisor right there, oh my goodness, the cutest was making my cheeks hurt.
Nice job 👏 Nick 😊
great job greetings from the netherlands
Great job!
I have worked for overhead doors and I still will not do the springs. I’ve seen co workers loose an arm from bar whipping and around when spring was tightened up. 🥴. Be very careful and don’t let bars slip out of winding slots
Just take your time. Looks nice though! One down two to go! 😊
awesome job way to just do it congrats. The next one’s will be easier.
Awesome job on the garage door you guys do awesome work
The window panel should be the 4th layer not the 5th. It will let more light into the garage.
Nick go on line look the installer guide for your door. Love your show PS you are a very talented guy bless you and your family
The only thing extra that you need besides, the miscellaneous tools is 23 eights prybars the wind up springs! Good luck
Good morning how are you folks doing today it looks like everything is coming together one step at a time keep up the good work you guys we love you guys bye bye
You need one of those 3D garage door wraps they are really cool 😎 👌
You would be better off if you went to town to the HomeDepo and perchised a bunch of those L- channel because you are going to need a lot more for the other doors 🚪 especially for the upper ends where there is alot of torque up top when the door is opening 😊
Good job! Your wife looks great keep up the good work..
The kids are away. It's the best time to play with that pole.
Good Job guys a great achievement, Loads of Information on RUclips on how to do jobs. The springs are the danger part so right to be cautious. According to the display, video posted 41 minutes ago!! Time Now in UK 6.16 in the evening!! what time is it there. Remember Jen kids away you have Nick All to yourself😁😍Tee Hee. Love from UK see you's in a few days x x x
Nick and jenn are you ready for one to be done
And two more to do
Great job.
Congratulations 👏
Nice work guys,great video!👍🏻
Great job
Garage door looks amazing
Wrap the sides w White Aluminum
Not sure if you have this or not but I always see a rubber weather strip on the floor.
How will you lock that large door now .
The garage door window needs to be below the one panel it’s setting on the
Yay! Great job his👍🏻
You do have a lot of beautiful wood exposed everywhere so why not leave the same wood type of trim as raw wood around
your garage doors. They are already white which is good but to leave the door trim natural wood gives a sense of balance
with all the rest of the colors used. You have plenty of green and you have the offset of white so now you can have the
natural wood as a perfect balancing trim color. Now it looks like it should.....perfect. Me southern AZ.
i think you should have your window panel second one from the top. Other than that it looks great!
I have some really tall garage doors three of them in my RV garage. And they are 16 foot high opening. So periodically I have to have them adjusted and I’m not getting up on that tall ladder that I don’t own. Makes it easier to open or harder to open or hang onto that rope because you don’t want it flinging clear out of the Guide. So yeah you gotta be a little careful about that and be it. That’s not my occupation and my age is not gonna let me do it so every 2 to 4 years I have it adjusted depending on how it feels up the doors. One of the three doors actually has a garage door opener on it, the other two don’t. So technically that needs to be lubricated as well. And periodically it standard heights however it’s a 20 foot opening instead of a 16 foot opening. Now the RV garage they’re all 16 foot openings but I love that 20 foot open on the house garage. Because it makes it much easier to drive with your van pick up bed extended cab. even though it has a garage door opener, it needs to be maintained periodically too, so I just have them come periodically and maintain those doors however, when the one was put on the house, they didn’t insulate it and the whole thing would have to be redone because the size of the spring had to be a heavier one. So one day the springs had a problem. So when they were replaced, I said insulate that door, I’m gonna be the same thing for you in the RV garage. All of those doors are insulated and the windows at the top of those I’ll have the windows, but they’re double paining. Which I think is kind of cool because the one I originally had in Bullhead City was single pain and I think these are a little better window and it was the same people that did both doors, but I think they did improvements. And I found out this company is cheaper to have them do the whole thing and you go by the door and have to install it. However, you live way out in the middle of nowhere. But this is a local company so I’m able to have them come adjust them. Doors are looking good. Your house is looking awesome and properties looking great.
I really like the garage doors with the windows at the top I guess a lot of light in there. I know I say this every video but you are a luck man to have your beautiful wife and she is funny and helps on every construction project.
Did you get the garage door rubber stripped the bottom to keep the water out and the wind out?
Great job looks great
Just saw how wide your fancy dually truck tires are. Any idea how many pebbles/rocks you fling behind you with those without the extra wide flaps? As someone that drives 2 miles up my dirt road onto our remote Hwy in NW Montana, I know about flinging rocks or having them flung at me. I have big mud flaps on my Dodge though so I don’t fling rocks at me at vehicles catching up in 2 miles as I pull up on the Hwy. I run 33” mud/snow AT tires so I pick up a ton of gravel on my road. Good job on your first garage door though!
my opinion is white frame to match the doors
Horizontal supports
Very nice ❤
Those Springs can kill you! Be extremely careful
I have installed hundreds of rollup doors in semi trucks and trailers. If you follow the instructions it’s easy Peezy.
Why didn't you buy insulated doors ?
Do you not have a laser level to run up the side of the track and continue across the horizontal track?
😅Trent would be proud of y'all putting the garage door on. Watch his video putting up the garage door. Awesome job.
Look awesome guys
