What Exactly Is A High-Lift Garage Door?

A high-lift garage door is an overhead garage door that features an extra panel above the main door. This panel allows you to raise and lower the door by positioning it closer to the ceiling, which provides increased clearance.

The benefits of a high-lift garage door

The primary benefit of a high-lift garage door is that it makes it easier to park your vehicle in and out of your garage. Since this panel sits higher off the ground than other types of overhead doors, you can more easily fit your vehicle without having to worry about scraping its roof or bumper on the top or bottom edges of the door.

In addition to making parking easier, high-lift doors also provide added convenience for those with limited mobility due to age or physical disability. Since the door opens higher off the ground, you can quickly get in and out of your garage without worrying about using a step stool or ladder.

Another benefit of high-lift doors is that they are easier to maintain than other overhead doors. Since there is less distance between the top part of the door and the ceiling, it’s much easier to reach and clean everything from glass panels to tracks whenever necessary.

Costs and installation

Choosing one that meets your needs and budget is essential, as with any garage door. High-lift doors will typically cost more than standard overhead doors due to their extra panel and additional features like automatic openers. However, a high-lift garage door may be the perfect option if you want added convenience, ease of use, and reduced maintenance requirements.

If you’re considering installing a high-lift garage door, you must work with a qualified professional who can help you find the suitable model for your needs and budget. With the correct setup and proper care, a high-lift door will provide your home with added convenience, comfort, and usability.

How to convert your old garage door to a high-lift garage door

If you’re looking at a high lift garage door conversion, there are several steps you’ll need to take. First, you’ll need to remove the existing tracks and hardware from your current overhead door and install new tracks for a high-lift door. You may also need to add extra brackets or supports to support the extra panel safely.

Once your new high-lift door is installed, it’s essential to maintain it properly to extend its lifespan and reduce any potential damage or wear over time. This maintenance can include cleaning the glass panels regularly, lubricating hinges and rollers as needed, and performing minor repairs.

If you need more time to install your high-lift door, it’s best to work with a qualified professional who can ensure that your new door is installed correctly and safely supported. With the proper care and maintenance over time, your high-lift garage door will provide you with improved convenience and usability for years to come.

How to maintain and care for your high lift garage door

Once your high-lift garage door is installed, it’s essential to take the correct steps to maintain and care for it, including cleaning the glass panels regularly, lubricating hinges and rollers as needed, and performing minor repairs or adjustments as necessary.

To ensure that your high-lift garage door stays in good working condition over time, you should consult a qualified professional who can provide expert guidance on how best to care for and maintain your new door. With proper maintenance, you can rest assured that your high-lift door will continue to provide added convenience and ease of use for years to come.

When should you replace your garage door?

When deciding if you need to replace your garage door, there are factors to consider. Some of these considerations include the age and condition of your current door, its functionality and safety features, and the cost and ease of installation for a new model.

If your existing garage door is old or in poor condition, it may not provide adequate protection from the weather, thieves, or other dangers. Additionally, if it is difficult or unsafe to use due to mechanical issues or malfunctioning components, consider replacing it with a newer model.

Another factor to consider when deciding whether to replace your garage door is the overall cost and feasibility. Some models can be expensive, particularly if they require installation or specialized parts. Additionally, some higher-end models may not be feasible in certain homes with limited space or design requirements.

The bottom line

As you can see, there are several great benefits to choosing a high-lift garage door for your home or business. Whether you’re looking to improve parking access, make it much easier to get in and out of your garage, or reduce maintenance requirements, this overhead door type can be a great choice. Contact a local garage door installation company to learn more about high-lift doors and how they can benefit you.
