If you’ve scheduled a garage door installation, there are a few minor ways you might have to prepare. This way, workers can do their job faster and safer.  Learn more about garage door installation and what you can do beforehand to help the workers out.

Clean & Clear the Area

The main way to provide a safe space for the workers to do their job is to clean your garage. Find temporary placement for items that have the potential to get in the way. You'll also have to move any vehicles that are usually parked there. Cars can be moved to the back of the driveway or onto the street if permitted.

Clearing any trash or recycle bins from the driveway and storing them at the back of the garage will also help prep the workspace for a garage door installation. In addition, ensure your garage is clean enough that the workers have easy access to your electricity, such as a direct power source.

Prevent Others From Entering

It’s important that you keep track of any children or pets you have and prevent them from entering the workspace, as there are hazards that could injure them.

The installers will be working with heavy items, items with spring tension, power tools, and more. You will have to be there at first to let them in, but other than that, no one should be in the garage other than the workers.

Decide on the Garage Door Opener 

Make sure you know where you want any wall consoles or keyless entry pads placed. They’re usually installed on the wall next to the entry door to the garage, but it can be placed elsewhere upon your request.

Some vehicles have a built-in garage door remote control, so if you want the workers to help you program this, have the exact car you want to program this feature in nearby.
