How difficult is it to install a steel garage door myself

Posted on 10/06/2006 6:43:12 AM PDT by rudy45

What's the hardest part about putting up a garage door? I would be replacing everything (door, tracks, springs etc.). It would be an 8x7 door, Clopay/Home Depot. Thanks.

Well it has its ups and downs!

Hint. Oil the springs at least once a year. This will extend the life of the Upsy Downsy Device, (aka garage door opener).

Good Luck!

I have a brother who could help you....

However, when he's finished, your door would be John Deere green, chrome trimmed and only open to "Sweet Home Alabama".

The hardest part for me is writing the check to the guy who fixes up what I messed up...

I would try it first with out reading the instructions. I guess the hardest part would be admitting to needing to read the instructions. To hid this from others ask wife if she would like to go shopping. This might cost more than paying to have someone install it but it will be worth it.
