Double Garage Doors in Colorado

Double Garage Doors in Colorado

Double garage doors cover wider openings and often serve two car garages or larger storage bays. These doors need strong hardware, precise alignment, and careful spring balancing to keep daily operation smooth and safe.

Colorado Garage Door Fix installs double garage doors with a focus on reliability and clean performance. We confirm sizing, hardware fit, and opener capacity so the door glides evenly and seals properly across the full width of the opening.

Sizing and structural considerations

Wide openings require accurate measurements and a stable frame. We confirm the width, height, headroom, and side clearance before ordering. We also check the condition of the framing and jambs so the new door can be mounted securely.

For larger doors, reinforcement struts and upgraded hardware may be required to prevent sagging and keep sections aligned during travel.

Traffic flow and daily use

Double doors often serve busy driveways with two vehicles entering and leaving throughout the day. We make sure the door opens and closes smoothly without hesitation, which helps keep traffic moving and reduces wear on the opener.

If the garage is used for storage, we can adjust track placement and opener layout to preserve ceiling space for racks, lighting, or equipment. These small layout choices can make the space more functional once the new door is installed.

Style and design options

Double doors are available in a full range of styles, including classic raised panels, modern flush designs, and carriage looks. You can choose window layouts, colors, and hardware accents to match your exterior design.

We review steel, composite, and wood overlay options and explain the maintenance needs of each. The goal is a door that looks great and stays stable during high cycle use.

Insulation and performance

Because double doors cover more area, insulation can have a bigger impact on comfort and noise control. We can install doors with higher insulation values, thicker sections, and upgraded seals to reduce drafts and temperature swings.

Balanced springs and precise track alignment also improve performance by reducing strain on the opener and limiting vibration.

Hardware, springs, and opener pairing

Double doors are heavier and require properly sized springs and reinforced hardware. We select spring systems that balance the door weight evenly, then align tracks to keep the panels moving straight without rubbing.

Opener selection matters even more for wide doors. We recommend motors with adequate horsepower and smooth start and stop control. For very wide or heavy doors, upgraded operators can reduce strain and improve long term reliability.

Wind load and stability

Large doors can act like a sail in strong winds, so reinforcement is important. We can install wind rated hardware and struts to keep sections stable, especially for wide openings that face open driveways or exposed areas.

Proper sealing also helps reduce drafts and moisture intrusion. A tight perimeter seal protects the door edges and keeps the opening clean during storm seasons.

Cost factors for double doors

Pricing for double doors depends on size and feature choices. Common factors include:

• Door width and height, including custom sizing
• Panel construction, insulation level, and section thickness
• Window packages and glass options
• Reinforcement struts and heavy duty hardware
• Opener upgrades or dual operator systems
• Removal and disposal of existing doors

We provide clear pricing and help you choose the best mix of performance and value.

Timeline and installation process

After measurements, we order the door and schedule installation based on lead times. On install day we remove the old door, set new tracks and springs, and align sections for smooth travel.

We then calibrate the opener, test safety sensors, and run the door through multiple cycles to confirm quiet, even operation. The final step is a walkthrough on basic care and maintenance.

Options and upgrades

Double doors support upgrades that improve daily use and durability:

• High cycle springs for frequent operation
• Quiet rollers and hinges for smoother movement
• Smart openers with remote monitoring
• Battery backup for outage access
• Wind load reinforcement where needed

We help you select upgrades that match your daily use and long term goals.

Maintenance and long term performance

Because double doors handle more weight, regular maintenance helps prevent noise and wear. Keep rollers and hinges lubricated, check balance annually, and replace worn weather seals before they crack or tear. Routine care keeps the door moving evenly and reduces strain on the opener.

Warranty and coverage

Most double doors include manufacturer warranties on door sections, hardware, and finishes. We provide labor coverage for the installation and review maintenance steps to keep the warranty valid over time.
