If you have a related project on the horizon, or if you're just curious about how they get the job done, here's a basic overview of the garage door replacement process:

• Prepare The Opening: Naturally, the first operation that will be performed will be the removal of your previous garage door. After that's out of the way, it's time to prepare the opening, which includes inspecting the condition of previous wood jambs and replacing them if necessary. 
• Install Door Sections: From safety tabs to weather-stripping, the next major step of the garage door replacement process involves the assembly and installation of the door sections. This will also include the addition of any lift handle attachments and keyed locks that come as part of the door kit.
• Reinforcement & Track Assembly: Most garage doors need to have the top section reinforced to avoid damage. Assembling and installing the track is a big part of the process, and once the track is square and level with the opening, track hangers can be permanently fastened to the ceiling trusses.
• Automatic Opener Attachment: If you've ever attempted all of this and then followed up with an automatic garage door operator installation, you know why it's typically left to the professionals. It takes a good deal of preparation and skill to line everything up just right, and it's important to follow the manufacturer's installation and safety instructions as carefully as possible.
