Every year we donate to the Fire Safety Program with Jackson Township Fire Station. This program was developed to get children more knowledge about fire safety. The fire safety program has Safety Town that visits schools and festivals every year. There are also coloring books handed out to the kids as well as certificates for completing safety town. This is a great program that teaches about safety and fires, how to get out of a building safely, and all children should know how to get out of a fire.

Grove City Garage Door Inc. has helped out the garage door business tremendously by helping out in the ABC 6 investigation! We fixed three garage doors to ensure the doors were in all working order for Tom Sussi. Check out the story:  ABC 6 Investigates

Do you know what is the best light bulb to use in your garage door opener?

The best light bulbs are the regular 60-100 watt bulbs. The CFL and LED bulbs greatly reduce the signal strength from the opener to the remote. The remote will not work when it is a distance away, the signal is being reduced from the bulbs in the opener. So if you are having remote issues, then there is a good chance you just need to change your bulbs back to a regular light bulb. The garage door opener does not use that much power from the light bulbs, the opener shuts itself off after a few minute of non use.

Not many people have heard about Mid-America Garage Doors. Why you ask?
Well Mid-America is located in Ponca City, Oklahoma; so they are not a
local company. So why does Grove City Garage Door Inc. sell their doors?
We sell their doors because they have outstanding quality. Mid-America
offers a different kind of garage door because the thickness of the
metal is heavier gauged and will stand up to more accidental abuse. A
Mid-America door is thicker metal so that also means that there is more
noise reduction.

Mid-America also offers an inexpensive carriage style garage door. Since
carriage style garage doors is a growing trend in the garage door
market.  Mid-America Garage Doors

Mid-America offers the standard colors: white, almond, grey, sandtone,
sahara, and cherry (wood) look on their doors. Check out our page above
for more information regarding the varieties of garage doors.

Having the right equipment for the job is a very important part of the garage door business. We have all of the right equipment to complete any job big or small! We own all of our equipment from years of learning what is needed and what is not needed. The high lift is used on most large commercial garage doors, it helps with lifting the long heavy garage door panels, getting to high places to reach safely, and gives a larger working space than a ladder. Keeping our employees safely working on the job is an important aspect of being in business. Our employees are just a important as our customers!

What is angle iron and why is it important to your garage door?

Angle iron is used to connect your track and garage door opener to your ceiling. Using the right gauge is important; too light of a gauge and the iron can bend, then your garage door and opener can fall on your car or you!

Pictured above is an opener with angle iron hanging from the ceiling. I used this picture to show where the angle iron is located. However, in this picture the opener is clearly hung wrong. The safety sensors should not be hanging next to the opener! We fixed this opener at one of our service calls.
