Clopay garage doors: install and repair

Clopay builds residential doors in steel, natural wood, composite cladding over insulated steel, and aluminum with glass. Collections named on its residential page include Avante, Canyon Ridge Carriage House (4-layer and 5-layer), Modern Steel Ultra-Grain, Reserve Wood and Classic Wood. One unusual design, VertiStack Avante, stacks its sections on the wall above the opening, so it has no overhead tracks, exposed hinges or cables. (source: Clopay)

Reading the label on a Clopay door

Clopay says most of its doors carry a label on the inside face, often along the edge of a section or near the bottom panel. That label lists the model number, the serial number and the date the door was made. (source: Clopay) Snap a photo of it before you call. With the model number we can match springs, rollers, hinges and seals to the way your door is built instead of guessing from its looks.

Fix the part, swap a section, or replace the door

Most Clopay service calls are about hardware, not the door skin:

• Hinges are numbered for their spot on the door, and the number stamped on the old hinge points to the right replacement. (source: Clopay)
• Rollers come in steel, nylon or polyurethane; fit depends on wheel diameter and stem length. (source: Clopay)
• Springs and cables carry high tension. Clopay itself tells homeowners to leave both to trained technicians. (source: Clopay) That work is our torsion spring repair and cable and drum repair.

A dented section on a current model can often be swapped on its own. On a door that has been discontinued, a matching section may no longer exist, and then a new door is usually the honest answer. See panel replacement for how we check.

What has to match a Clopay door

• Windows: Clopay offers short, long and slim windows in several layouts, with clear, frosted or obscure glass. (source: Clopay) Window kits follow the door design, so one collection's glass is not a drop-in for another. More on this in windows and inserts.
• Seals: bottom, top and side seals are sold separately; you need the door's length and the width of the seal channel. (source: Clopay) See bottom seals.
• Opener add-ons: Clopay advises matching any new remote, keypad or safety sensor to the opener's model, from its manual or label. (source: Clopay) The opener brand decides that, not the door brand.

Clopay sectional doors on commercial buildings

Clopay's commercial sectional range includes the Energy Series with Intellicore insulation, Industrial Steel doors with or without insulation, aluminum full-view doors and VertiStack Clear. (source: Clopay) If your shop or storefront has a sectional overhead door, tell us its size and roughly how often it runs.
