Garage doors that open every morning in West Fargo.

One of ours, West Fargo

A garage door is a machine that happens to face the street.

This is a door we hung. Everything a homeowner calls us about is somewhere in this picture, so here is what we are actually looking at when you say the door will not go up.

1. Short panel carriageThe panel style does the talkingShort panel carriage in white, one of the Midland and Wayne Dalton styles we carry alongside raised steel panel, ranch, flush, fullview and overlay.
2. Top section glazingGlass only in the top sectionLight into the garage without putting glass where a shoulder or a bumper can reach it. Window size and layout are options on the door, not an upgrade to the whole thing.
3. Single bayTwo openings, one matched setA double and a single hung to match. Different widths run different spring weights, so the two doors are balanced separately even though they look like a pair.
4. Bottom weather sealThe seal that matters in FebruaryThe bottom seal is what stops a door freezing to the slab after an ice night. It is also the first thing to tear, and it is a cheap fix rather than a new door.
5. Track and jamb lineTrack, rollers and the torsion tubeEverything that actually moves sits inboard of this line: the vertical track, the rollers, the cables and the torsion spring across the header. That is where a door gets diagnosed.
