Amarr vs Clopay garage door
How do Amarr garage doors (aka ReliaBilt, sold by Lowes) compare with
Clopay (aka Holmes, sold by Home Depot)? Amarr's website says they have "true 24 gauge" steel, but does that apply to their ReliaBilt brand name? Is Clopay "nominal" or true 24 gauge? |

Check your phone book to see if Wayne Dalton store is in your area. They
make superior doors. Lowes may carry them but in my experience WD will sell it installed cheaper than Lowes. Also they have a neat opener that fits over the door instead of needing a track across the ceiling. wrote in message ups.com...

I got a hold of Amarr and Clopay cust svc.
Clopay (Holmes/Home Depot) says their's is a nominal steel gauge rating while Amarr (ReliaBilt/Lowe's) says theirs is a true gauge. I'm still not sure how much difference that makes. I've searched the web a bit, but if it were really that important I would expect there to be a lot more info explaining it.

Doubt it makes any difference as you can be talking thousandths of an inch difference. The thickness of the steel is a factor, but much more important is what you do with it, how you form it, how you paint it, and how well the hardware fits and works. |

All have the torsion spring(s) which are matched to the door weight. Preload the specified number of turns and they work correctly every time. Hot-dipped galvanized American made steel. --Andy Asberry recommends NewsGuy-- all manufacturers of steel doors [pan or insulated] use similar steel. finish at the factory is important. in this discussion only two mfgs. are mentioned. there are many. all mfg. similar styles and grades. in most cases it is the homeowner who decides what is best for them [appearance and budget]. |

I've been doing doors for decades and have seen it all. You can't tell me that a door with PLASTIC drums, Internal springs (aka very low cycle) paper backing and outright FALSE R value claims makes a good door.(Its an R 3 for 80% of the door, but in 2" per panel has a thick rib section with an R20 or something like that, so they give it the "average" R value, even though the huge majority of the door is an R3...) Not to mention the opener you reference is also the most unreliable on the market. I have no doubt you work for Wayne Dalton since they are the ONLY people who recommend that junk, anyone who does this for a living wouldn't never put one in their own homes |

Wayne Dalton (model 8300)is around $875 Canadian and Clopay (model 4053)is around $1200 Canadian. After reviewing lots of reviews, it seems that Clopay is better than Wayne Dalton in terms of quality. I would like to know what your comment are. Thanks Joseph |

After reviewing lots of reviews, it seems that Clopay is better than Wayne Dalton in terms of quality. I would like to know what your comment are. Thanks Joseph Have had two higher-end model Clopay steel two car garage doors for years. No issues. A few years ago, our driveway replacement contractor hit the door with his Bobcat bucket. The Clopay regional sales office was very helpful...quickly rounding up a skilled installer and supplying a comparable model new door from their local warehouse which of course the driveway guy paid for. -- With all this €śgun control€ť talk, I havent heard one politician say how they plan to take guns away from criminals and terrorists€” just from law abiding citizens€¦ Good to know. I planned for the Premium Series. model 4050 or 4053. The specification is 26 Gauge Steel, 1 3/8 in thick and R Value is 6.5 using Polystyrene. My garage is insulated on the roof and dry wall, so the contractor said that I do not need a high R value. Clopay got many good reviews in terms of quality even though it is at a higher price compared to Wayne Dalton. My understanding is looking for the steel gauge. Clopay used Steel Gauge 27 for higher end model like 9200, 9130 and 4300 series. The lower the number of Steel Gauge, the better it is. Correct? Comments. Yup, like wire gauge or shotgun gauge...the lower the number, the bigger the diameter/thickness. Curious though what your contractor said about not needing a well insulated door because the roof and walls are. Sorta like saying one bald tire is OK as long as the other three have good tread;-) -- You cant get rich in politics unless youre a crook. - President Harry Truman |

You are calling Wayne Dalton superior?? Are you out of your mind? They make the cheapest door in the industry. Why do you think all the builders go with them, its not for their quality but for their cheapness but as always in life, you get what you pay for. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...or-145701-.htm |

100% agree they are some of the worst quality doors being produced and they are built to be installed quickly which is more beneficial for the installer than the homeowner as you trade quality for speed IMO. Profit before people is the corporate way and this is a very large corporation whom owns Overhead Door Corporation too. Comparing apples to apples the Waynee Daltonian door is complete junk. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...or-145701-.htm |
