Garage Door Installtion
Bob gets together with Gary and Earl Raymond from Clairmont Glass as they prepare to install the Clopay garage doors. The openings for the garage doors have arched tops but the doors themselves are rectangular painted hemlock. The door comes in three sections - the bottom and the middle sections are plain and the top section has glass panes set in an arch to match the frame. The first step in the installation is nailing a rubber seal on the bottom of the bottom panel to keep the weather out. The door panels are prepunched and premarked to indicate where the hinges go. Next they put the first panel in place and mount the vertical track. Then they add the second panel and fasten the hinges. With lengths of punched angle attached to the ceiling, they secure the track and put the top section of the door in place. Next they install the torsion spring which when attached via cable to the door uses tension to actually lift the door.
