This garage is a basic design of a 2-car garage. This is good because the more simple the design, usually, the easier it is to construct. It also has an ample amount of room to store your tools, sentimental items, decorations, or even space for a good sized workshop. If your garage door is more than 20 years old, consider replacing it. Newer doors are safer and easier to operate. Use these step-by-step instructions to install a new door on your garage.

Steel sectional garage door is installed one section at a time, from the bottom up.

Because garage doors are large, heavy, and mildly complicated, most people who buy them take advantage of these services. But, if you’re pretty adept at DIY tasks, you can save some money and enjoy the satisfaction of doing the job of installing a sectional garage door yourself. (Sectional garage doors travel up and down on rollers that ride along tracks at each side of the garage doorway.)

The garage door shown is equipped with a torsion spring system, which is much safer to adjust than the typical torsion-spring model.

You should not attempt to adjust or remove a garage door that has a standard torsion-spring mechanism because these are under extreme tension, which makes them dangerous. Call a professional garage door installer instead.

The instructions that follow will guide you through the general principles of sectional garage door installation. Be sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions implicitly.

1After attaching weatherstripping to the bottom edge of the first garage door panel, set the panel in the doorway and fix it in place by driving nails partway into each jamb at an angle so that they wedge the door in place. Attach the hinges to the top edge of the door if they aren’t already attached.

2. Assemble the tracks.

2Assemble the various pieces for the vertical, curved, and horizontal tracks, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

3Install the rollers and any necessary brackets on the garage door section and any wall- or jamb-mounted brackets according to the manufacturer’s directions. At one side of the doorway, slip the vertical track onto the rollers of the first door section. Repeat at the other side.

4. Guide rollers into tracks.

4Install the rollers into the second section. With a helper, lift the section, set it in place, and slip its rollers into the vertical tracks at both sides of the doorway.

5Fasten the hinges of the first section to the second one. For most types of doors, a power drill with a screwdriver tip or nut driver will make this much faster and easier.

6. Fasten top plates and tracks.

6Install the third section, using the same procedures. Check the door for level and the vertical track for plumb. Fasten the top plates of both vertical tracks to the wall. Make sure the lag screws amply penetrate the framing members because the door will exert considerable force as it moves up and down.

7Attach the jamb brackets to the tracks and fasten them to the framing members. Again, make sure the lag screws go into sound framing. Don’t tighten down the lag screws yet because you may need to adjust the tracks.

8. Install curved and horizontal tracks.

8Install the curved and horizontal tracks, positioning the curved track as shown. Bolt the pieces together. If necessary, you can rest the horizontal track on top of a ladder.

9Check the horizontal track for level, and then cut the rear track hanger to the length necessary for supporting the track. Screw the track hanger to solid framing (a ceiling joist or blocking), and loosely mount the track to the hanger. Repeat with the other horizontal track. Fit the last door section in place, and remove any temporary nails.

10. Install and adjust torque tube.

10The type of garage door shown provides the necessary lift assistance with a “torque tube.” If you intend to use an opener, wait to install the tube. Otherwise, install the torque tube according to the manufacturer’s directions. Roll up the door about 4 feet to check for the alignment of the tracks, and make any adjustments. Then tighten all fasteners.

So, let's get problem solving. Here are the engineering 'forces' at work:
* The doors should be inexpensive, therefore, most likely..
* They have to be something I can build my self.
* I'm a DIY guy, so no more of this 'hiring people to come out' business. Ergo, no deadly springs.
* Since I enjoy sleeping indoors they should look great for my wife.
* The garage ceiling is really short, so overhead doors were really not smart to begin with.
* Have to be well-insulated for the climate I live in.
After looking around, I discovered that many of the more expensive overhead garage doors are designed to look (rather unconvincingly, IMO) like old-fashioned, side-opening, 'carriage house' doors. Well, isn't that interesting? Expensive-looking, side-opening doors.. made of wood and traditional carpentry techniques.. I can handle that! :)
After scavenging online however, I found very little information on actually how to do this. There were lots of questions in woodworking and farm diy forums on the subject, but very little in the way of answers.
The best I found was This Tutorial but even that wasn't exactly what I wanted. It uses more difficult 'mortise-and-tenon joinery', is uninsulated, and kindof an art deco / cubist style. (Still, a maybe good reference if you're wanting doors more along those lines.)
All that to say, hopefully THIS tutorial can be helpful to others wanting to build a similar design.
