Rules & regulations
- Electric doors must have safety reversal, it's built into compliant kit
- No planning needed for replacement; changing the opening size is building work
Snap tips
- If the garage is, or might become, living space, the insulated sectional pays for itself
- A door is only as good as its springs, cheap gear fails first
