If people are purchasing a garage door, there are several things to consider. One is the gauge of the door. That is the thickness of the steel. Generally, residential doors come in 24, 25 and 26 gauge doors. Twenty-four is the thickest; 26 is the least thick. We recommend 14 gauge hardware. That will give your door a long life. The other consideration is the number of springs used. We recommend two springs to be installed. Those are the major considerations besides color and style.
There is the standard raised panel, which is generally on a double core. It has eight raised panels. There is also something called a longer ranch panel, where there is a standard double car door with the four panels across. So those are the basic styles, and they generally come in white, brown, almond and sand stone. So those are the choices you have on a new door.
