Is it dangerous to quickly thaw a garage door?

• <div><p>If you take caution around fragile garage parts, thawing methods shouldn’t cause problems. Avoid using direct sources of heat too close to the garage door, especially rubber parts.</p><p>Another spot to avoid heating is the garage door spring. This powerful metal spring can become very cold in winter. Applying heat to a cold spring increases the chances it could break. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth insulating an unheated garage?

• <div><p>Insulating an unheated garage can still be worth it. For instance, insulating an attached garage can help with heat loss from your house in general, and it can also make it easier to store electronics in your garage without worrying about them being exposed to extreme temperatures.</p><p>If you use your detached garage as a workspace, insulation can still make a difference. Plus, you can use space heaters and a window unit AC to help condition the space while you work without installing heating.</p></div>

Q: How tall is an RV garage door?

• <div><p>On average, RV garage doors are 12 to 14 feet tall to accommodate the large vehicles. Most RVs are approximately 9.5 feet tall but can be taller due to features such as air conditioners, satellite dishes, and luggage racks </p></div>

Q: What is the average lifespan of garage doors?

• <div><p>A garage door should last 30 years, give or take, before it needs replacing, so your panels should last for around that long as well. However, you should replace your garage door panels sooner if the door doesn&rsquo;t function smoothly if one of the panels gets visibly damaged, or if an issue with a panel is creating a security issue.</p></div>

Q: Can garage doors work with one spring?

• <div><p>With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs&mdash;if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.</p></div>

I hired Greg to install two garage doors with openers for me. The work was done on time and on budget. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I plan on using him again for some projects in the near future.

Very pleased! Polite and professional. Came out same day we called. Re-keyed several doors for us, adjusted a door where the latch wasn't catching properly, and drilled holes for us to add a deadbolt to a door. Fair prices. Highly recommend.
