Topic: Safety and Cables for Your Overhead Door Sectional Doors
The lift cables at each side of a sectional overhead door should be visually inspected periodically for “fraying” of broken stands, severe twisting of strands, any other abnormalities or rust.
We suggest careful inspection frequently as a frayed, severe twisting, rust or other abnormal cable conditions is a warning that the cable strength has diminished and could break or fail at any time.
Effect of a Broken Cable: A broken cable leaves the door inoperable and has the potential to cause serious damage and injury, particularly if the cable breaks when the door is fully open or part way open.
How to Check for a Frayed or Severe Twisting of Strands of Cable: It is best to check and carefully inspect the cables when the door is in the down or closed position. Carefully check along the full length of the cable for any fraying or severe twisting. Prevention of failure or breakage can save inconvenient costly down time which can be disruptive to the operation and reduce repair expenses.
Just a little visual inspection can increase safety, operational efficiency, reliability, decrease downtime, extend useful life of your operating system and lessen service maintenance cost.
A quick visual inspection prior to operation could have avoided this very costly problem. The price of a new cable vs. a complete new door?
Inspect the cables. The cables should be tight and secured to the bottom fixtures. The cables should not rub against the door, track or any other objects. Cables with frayed or broken strands should be replaced by a trained door system technician.
Please, schedule those visual inspections and call us if we can assist in your department goals for improved operational efficiency and reliability while keeping that budget in check.

For many home owners, the garage is the place where you store all the stuff you don't know what to do with, and if you're lucky, the car may fit in there, too.
But as the price of real estate has risen, the room that's often the most neglected and underutilized in the house also has grown in value. Savvy real estate professionals and sellers are now staging the garage along with the rest of the h
ouse, and getting higher returns for the effort.
In some cases, a home owner's special interest may drive the use of the garage. Gardeners may have special bins built for soil and fertilizer. Golfers may install customized cabinets for their golf clubs. Exercise enthusiasts may outfit the space with workout equipment.
Regardless of what the space is primarily used for, practitioners say spectacular garages make listings stand out and sell faster.

Garage - Why it is Important to Protect Your Garage With a Quality Door
One of the largest rooms in the house is the garage. You may not consider it a room, but it is a major extension that must be taken care of for many reasons.
Making sure that it has a quality door is an important measure to protect this all-important room.
Here are some of the reasons why you should install a door for your garage:
1. Security- While you may think of it as a storage area, a place where
... your car lives, but not really a part of the house, the garage is actually an extra line of defense between your family and the outside world. Think of it as a movable wall of the house. Because of this, you should choose a quality sturdy door.
2. Privacy- You don't have to enclose this area, but if you want to protect your belongings and your privacy, it makes sense to install a door to keep prying eyes out. Whether you use it to park your car or as a storage room, you don't want to advertise what you have. You may also want to hide the mess it has become because this room also becomes a catch-all for things that haven't made it into the attic.
3. Increase storage/room space- Adding a door can increase your storage space by a couple hundred square feet. Now that you have the security and privacy, you can keep other valuables besides the cars in this room. You also have an additional room for social occasions. Especially when the party is outdoors but the weather doesn't cooperate. You may not want people tracking dirt and mud through the house, but you can move the party into this room and protect people from the elements as well.
4. Energy efficiency- When it is attached to the house, a garage has a direct impact on the energy-efficiency of the rest of the house. By adding a door, it helps regulate the temperature which affects the interior temperature. Additional steps to take include insulating the door and installing weather-stripping. There are doors that are Energy-Star compliant that not only help reduce your power bills, but can also earn you a tax credit of up to $1500 if installed before December 31, 2010.
5. Weather protection- If you leave the space open, when weather is bad it is quite ineffective at protecting your cars and belongings. Water can pool in the area, dirt, debris and snow- whatever the elements bring- come right on in. It gets dirty, damaged and your belongings are at risk as well. Weather stripping and a threshold seal help increase the effectiveness of keeping out the
When you are looking for a dealer to install your new door, choose one who is experienced and trained in installation and repair. Also, find about the warranty service. Once you have a quality door for your garage, you and your family, your belongings and your home are protected.

ARE YOU CONFUSED ABOUT THE NEW UL 325 STANDARD:
Because of the tremendous growth in our industry, it has become necessary to address safety as it applies to Automatic Gate Systems. What does this mean to you? Most importantly it means that you will install your new gate system to meet the new industry standard, and that you will have the safest installation possible.
The new UL 325 standard is a safety standard for a door, drapery, gate, louver, and window operators and systems. Specifically, it applies to electric operators for doors, draperies, gates, louvers, windows and other openings and closing appliances rated 600 volts or less.
UL standards are voluntary standards that establish minimum requirements and are developed via an open, non-exclusionary process. For your own protection, adhere to the UL325 standard and be sure installations should meet the requirement or exceed the standard.

Here are the most common problems, along with repairs for garage doors & openers.
Garage door opener does not operate with either the remote or the wall switch:
The power source has probably been disrupted - check to see if it is plugged in. Check your circuit breaker, fuses and power boxes. Also, check the batteries in your remote, keypad or wall button. Perhaps it needs to be reprogrammed.
Garage door won't close all the way:
Check the limit switch - needs adjusting. If not, see if the door is binding when raised or lowered and to see the the photo cells/electrical beams or they are aimed directly at one another, or has something blocking it.
Garage door reverses before hitting the floor:
Check photo cells/electrical beam - may be blocked at floor level of the door. Close force may need adjusting.
Garage door does not open completely:
The limit switch may need to be removed away from the motor unit. Make sure the antenna on the motor unit is hanging down.
Broken springs or a broken motor:
These are the most serious garage door repairs. It is always recommended to replace springs in pairs, to ensure balanced operation. A professional should repair a broken spring or motor.
Regular maintenance of your garage door system may help prevent some garage door repairs.
