Check here first for answers to common questions
regarding your garage door system. If you need
additional answers, we recommend you call one of
our local numbers in your area for additional
assistance.
What are the standard sizes available for your
residential garage doors?
In general,
standard sizes for door widths are 8’, 9’ 10’,
12’, 15’, 16’, 18’ and 20’. Some door series may
have exceptions to this rule.
Can I paint my garage door?
All steel garage
doors can be painted with the color of your
choice by using latex paint.
Can I replace a section of my door or do I need
to replace the whole door?
Depending upon
the damage involved to the garage door system,
it is possible in many cases to replace a
section of your garage door. We can evaluate
your situation and give you a recommendation on
the best course of action.
What is R-value and how does it benefit me?
R-value is a
standardized measurement of thermal efficiency.
The higher the R-value, the greater the
insulating properties.
What maintenance does my garage door require?
We recommend you
have your garage door inspected annually.
Superior can give you the most thorough
evaluation and perform routine maintenance as
needed.
I have a low ceiling in my garage. Will a garage
door and opener work in my space?
Yes. A
residential door requires a minimum of 4 ½” of
headroom space. Your system will need a low
headroom extension track or a low headroom
torsion rear track. For a garage door opener
you’ll need slightly more headroom, about 6 ½”
minimum.
How can I get a new remote control for my
opener?
Superior can
provide you with a broad range of opener
accessories from remote controls to wireless
keypads. However, if your opener was
manufactured before 1980, you have an analog
type opener that we no longer carry remotes for
and your system will need to be upgraded with a
new receiver kit.
Can my non-insulated door be insulated?
Yes, the
insulation is cut and fit to your door type.
