What is recessed panel R-value?

Do your doors come with garage door openers?
That is up to you! Our online system allows you the flexibility to choose whether or not you need a new lift operator. In some cases homeowners are happy with the performance of their existing operator and they do not want to bare the expense of a new one. We do strongly recommend considering a new operator as modern technology has made vast improvements in ease of operation as well as the reduction in sound on new lift operators. Plus all new lift operators come furnished with 2 new remote openers. External key pads with a programmable access code are also an available upgrade.
