The car dealership's G-4400 commercial garage doors make it easy to move your cars in and out, but the best part is how great these look!
How can I beat out the competition with so many car dealerships in my area? What will bring them to my business?
Several marketing strategies can hone your sales skills, but if your customers don’t get a good first impression of your brand, you won't get the chance to use them! This blog will provide answers to help improve that crucial first impression.
RelayCars published a post that shows most car shoppers conduct their research online for an average of 13 hours or more. Imagine going into a dealership without doing any research. You wouldn't know what car to look for or how much it would cost, so why risk money on something you might not need? These days people are smarter than that- most of them conduct their search online before even visiting dealerships!
You only have one chance to form their opinion. Buyers know what they want, and they’re not going to stick around if their first impression is not positive.
You have only a few seconds to make an impression. Customers who get a negative impression are likely to walk the other way without even talking to a sales rep. That means the look of your dealership is vital to the success of your business.

Before even walking into the dealership, the customer sees the garage doors. Having beautiful and sleek doors will help make an amazing first impression. You can set yourself apart from the competition by investing in new garage doors.

No matter you needs, we can help make it more energy-efficient by installing energy-saving garage doors. We offer doors with weatherstripping features that will keep you and your place of business warm or cool and save on heating and cooling costs!

2. Our commercial garage door lines come with three options for insulation.
- G-5138 = R-12
- G-5000 = R-16
- G-5200 = R-18
High insulation quality is associated with higher R-values.
The R-value of a garage door can vary depending on the climate, what type you have, and how well it was insulated before installation.
The best insulated doors we offer feature high-pressure polyurethane foam.
Why choose polyurethane? Consider these benefits:
- Polyurethane is twice as effective as polystyrene, but not any thicker.

Vertical and High-Lift Garage Doors Are Among the Most Popular Selections for Industrial Buildings
A high-lift system rises vertically and offers more space at the top. Depending on your setup, you may want to consider this feature.
If you need an industrial garage door, it’s important to understand your options. Here is a list of some possibilities:
There are six choices for your garage door lift system.
| Standard lift | This is the most common choice. It gives 10” or more of headroom. |  |
| High-lift track | This is a common choice that works well for businesses with high ceilings. With this option, there is extra room to clear the area overhead. |  |
| Full vertical model | The sleek and stylish design of this door opens up directly against the top wall, making it an excellent option for commercial spaces. The doors can open up directly to the top of the wall. |  |
| Inclined garage door tracks | Cathedral ceilings are the most ideal for this type of lift because it will follow along the track easily and look visually appealing. |  |
| Front and rear low headroom | It can be a challenge to have 10” or less of headroom. This option is a possibility to allow for enough space to open and close the door. |  |
With the vertical or high-lift operating systems, your door will have plenty of headroom. These types work well in spaces like agricultural and commercial facilities because they provide ample space for taller objects to be stored without crowding out other things around them such as equipment
The commercial garage door with high-lift hardware has many benefits. One of the most notable is plenty of headroom, but that’s not all! It's also quiet and easy to maintain - not to mention efficient when it comes down power consumption.
Choosing Heavy-Duty Hardware Can Take Your Garage Door To a Whole New Level
The springs on your garage door are a major determining factor in how much weight it can hold. Springs come with different lengths and thicknesses, depending what you need for the size of openings that they will be opening or closing at home - so make sure to consult a garage door experts when making your selection!
Commercial garage doors are significantly larger than residential options, which means they’re heavier and go through more cycles of opening or closing per day. In order for your opener to work properly with these types of springs you need power enough that will lift the door reliably when needed!
This all works from physical science. Scientific technology is used to counterbalance the system so everything works smoothly for you.
- Springs that are longer can handle more opening and closing cycles
HOWEVER,
- Short springs ultimately have more stength.
All of these factors can be overwhelming when trying to make smart purchasing decisions. A garage door expert can help you analyze the springs and strength to make the best purchase for your needs.
When considering your hardware, think about these main options:
High-lift hardware: Commercial spaces often go with this choice. If you have the ceiling room, these make work well for your needs.

Commercial Door Information and Features:
- Commercial doors are typically built to handle greater weights than residential models and is more energy-efficient.
- This requires larger hardware, which in turn means more insulation is needed for these types of garages.
- They might have 1-⅜" thick polystyrene or even 2 inch steel reinforced concrete walls!
Before you buy, make sure you research and ask about both commercial and residential hardware. You need to distinguish between the two.
The commercial sectional garage door is opened and closed much more than residential ones. To increase durability, you need to install the right hardware so it lasts longer!
To understand more, look at the differences between the two types of tracks. The difference between residential and commercial door hinges is quite clear -
- Residential doors withstand just a few uses per day.
- Commercial doors can take up much more daily use.
The counterbalancing spring system also has these factors.
The durability of your garage door depends on how often it's used.
A commercial-grade model needs a spring system that can last up to 100,000 cycles--and maybe you only use the opener every few days or weeks!
Finally, think about how the door actually moves.
The residential garage door has a much shallower opening than its commercial counterpart.
Usually, commercial doors move vertically because the high ceilings allow for the clearance space. Residential doors do not generally have this space to move vertically.
When your commercial garage door is not functioning properly, it can be a hassle to deal with. You might have the repair work done or interrupt services for other customers in order get this taken care of quickly and efficiently so that you're back up again as soon possible!
You Won’t Believe the Strength of Our Heavy-Duty, Powerful Commercial Garage Doors!
Jackshaft-type operators are the best choice for high lift garage doors because they have sidewall mounting. A door like this also provides power and utility with its manual chain, but it's important to note that these models do add an extra expense.
Price is important to factor into your decision. These are the main factors we suggest you think about when deciding on your budget:
● Voltage
The higher the voltage, like 550V for example (which is used in some countries), will make your garage door opener work more efficiently and last longer.
If you want an efficient system with a long life cycle then go ahead and choose a higher voltage!
● Engine Power
The power needed for your garage door depends on how big it is. A human's strength will never be enough to open up a large commercial-grade metal entranceway like the kind found in many garages, so you'll want something with some horsepower!
If this sounds too complex and technical then don't worry - just know that smaller doors need ½ HP while mid-range models require ¾ Horses Power (HP), and larger installations should use 1 horsepower.
● Central or Side Opening System
The jackshaft-type openers are designed for doors that have a vertical angle. The hoist will help you operate the door properly, and it's necessary if your opener doesn't work correctly or isn’t working at all!
One of the most popular garage door openers on today's market is known as a "jackshaft" type.
