How to install a roll up door?

In: Building and Carpentry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

There is going to be some variance depending on the type. The ones I have installed have a track on each side for the ends of the door to ride in and the unit sits on top of this and is bolted to the wall. This gives you the correct height. Wind the spring and adjust as needed. They are fairly simple to install, not as many pieces as a regular garage door. Make sure the side tracks are plumb and the correct distance apart. Not a lot of play when it comes to that.
