The garage doors that we got such a good deal on back in June were delivered and installed on Monday (July 20th). Lee Hitt of Olympic Garage Door Co. (between Port Angeles and Sequim) showed up a bit early and was eager to hang those big boys (9' wide, by 8' high). I had trimmed out the openings with 5/8' plywood (to match eventual drywall in garage). In about 4 hours, Lee had hung the roller hardware, assembled and hung the four panel doors, and put up the motors and tracks, and fine tuned the whole act.
The motors are 1/2 HP (free upgrade) Liftmasters, and they are REALLY quite. They have kevlar belts (like fan belts) and make almost no noise at all. The control boxes are next to the garage/mudroom door and show alternating time/temp. Three buttons so you can program both doors and a fence/gate if you have one.
The doors are insulated, steel panels: heavy duty for sure. We got a great deal on the doors. We walked in to Olympic Garage Doors looking for a deal, but needed a special size (9 ft wide, 8 ft high). The owner mentioned that they happened to have a set of high quality doors that had been ordered, but sized incorrectly by the client. Their mistake was our gain. They had been painted for the original buyer, so we'll repaint them to match the trim and shingle colors. After we got done dealing (35% off, plus some upgrades), it was the easiest and fastest deal we had made on the entire house. And now that they are up and working, we can put another check on the big list for the Architectural Committee.
