19 Feb 5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Install Commercial Garage Doors Yourself
Commercial garage doors are specially made to increase the level of security in your facility. But just like any typical product, garage doors deteriorate over time. Pretty soon, you’ll need to replace your old unit with a new one.
If you’re planning to lessen expenses and save yourself some cash by installing a commercial garage door on your own, you might want to stop and think it through. To help you reach a decision, here are some reasons why DIY your garage door installation isn’t such a good idea—and why seeking professional help is the better option.
1. The process is not as easy as it seems.
Performing minor repairs is one thing. Doing a proper garage door installation is an entirely different story. The process can be very difficult, especially for someone who has not done it before. You’ll be dealing with all sorts of parts, all sorts of tools, and all sorts of machinery that you may or may not have encountered before. In the end, it may take you too much time just to finish installation.
2. You need special tools.
When installing commercial garage doors, you will need special tools that only professionals have access to. These tools are required in order to finish everything correctly. Because you probably don’t have the necessary tools in your home or office, you will need to spend a large sum of money just to buy tools that you will likely use only once and never again.
Attempting to do the task without the right tools can result in many problems—and damages. To avoid this whole headache, call a professional to handle the work for you.
3. There’s a higher chance of making mistakes.
People who try to do a DIY garage door installation can make mistakes because of the number of steps involved. Mistakes can lead to higher repair costs and worse, potential delays in your work process and production. Most of the errors done by people who do DIY installations lead to doors that do not open or close.
4. There is a risk of injury.
Lack of proper experience and tools during a garage door installation puts you and your employees at risk. When professionals do installations, they use their extensive knowledge and training to ensure that everything runs smoothly. If you or your employees get injured during the install, your medical bills will surely offset your potential savings through DIY.
5. There’s no warranty.
When you hire a professional for a garage door installation, the job will be done in a timely manner. You can also expect a quality of work that’s backed by a warranty and future service if ever something wrong happens during the process. You will never get those important services if you take the DIY route.
While you may feel confident enough to take on the DIY route and install your own commercial garage doors, there are a lot of reasons why you should leave it to the professionals. They are skilled and trained at what they do, and you can be sure that you always get the best results. You can save more money and avoid irreversible mistakes by hiring a professional installer.
