Here is the thing you have to change the spring or springs on your garage door becusse the current spring or springs are for the weight of the original door. Make sure to find out of the total weight with the panels added becuse it will put more stress on your motor and potentially fail and drop the door. Damage the sections and that get expensive lol
100% guarantee that your door will be out of balance when you add these. Your margin of error is typically 7-8lbs and a 2 door kit adds 50-60 lbs. If you install this kit save yourself from damaging you top panel and stripping your opener gear by going ahead and replacing your springs to add it just for the additional weight added. Just adding more turns to your torsion springs will not fix it.
@@bluefrog85 Nothing to sell. I having been in the garage door industry a long time. Just trying to inform people of the problems they will have after adding this to their door without changing the springs to the appropriate size.
I'm reading these comments and all I have to say is oh my God people are stupid correct, modern garage doors are made out of steel, wooden garage doors are made out of wood when you add weight to a garage door you might as well just take your opener down and throw it away because you're going to need a floor jack to get it open wow wow wow wow
What are they made of? Real wood implies solid wood. What’s the mass off it? Mdf? A Plastic? What’s the finish? Veneer? Looks like Formica where the grains cross?
1:52 Looks to me like wood veneer = exposed to elements waste of money. This is only good for movie or content makers to give a different look to doors, but not as an every day use decoration.
So the question is does this product make the garage door heavier if so then you are going to have more problems in the future because if you had a heavy garage door it is going to destroy your garage door opener so when you install this product I highly recommend disconnecting your garage door and seeing if it's heavy and if your garage door is heavy you can one take off the wood that you put on your garage door or to call out a professional to adjust the springs
The solution would be to replace the springs. Most suppliers won't help determine new spring sizes, but a few will based on weight, door size and previous springs. All garage torsion springs take special knowledge and tools to replace or adjust. Adding weight and merely afjusting the springs, which can be done, will lead to their earlier failure. This company has not been responsive to this video's cpmments, and I haven't seen where they address this issue. Their website does not give much info, it's mainly geared to attracting and culling investors. Beware, that's a bad sign!
wood garage doors do exist....why would that be too much weight when added to a lightweight aluminum door? Its just about if your garage door opener can handle it or not.
@@jackaroo2299 your garage springs are designed to carry a specific amount of weight for your door. Adding 100(?) pounds of wood to the door will cause premature failure to your system and could destroy the door. I don’t even trust the magnets lol. Not sure how much they weight though...
@@marywalters1837 Ive tried to reach out and get a sample because I own an overhead door business but last I checked I think they were having funding issues.
Terrible idea. Makes door heavier. Can't just "adjust springs" to compensate the extra weight. Tightening your springs to compensate will cut your springs life expectancy in half. And you will have to spend another 600 on new springs + labor Also will be more weight for your opener. And will damage the motor or gears inside motor. These panels will also tear up your side and top door jam vinyl. It makes the door thicker, and the tracks and door are not adjusted for that extra thickness. As a garage door repair company owner for the last 10 years. I would not recommend this product.
The lady is picking the panels up like they weigh a half pound each. How much do all the panels weigh together? How much weight tolerance is ok to add to existing door weight?
If you like woodworking plans, you'll love Stodoys plans. Get inspired by the endless possibilities of furniture plans and other buildable wood projects, both for indoor and outdoor.
SO when are you guys going to bring these to market????? You've only been at this since 2005! You wait much longer, the chinese are going to knock this off and I'll have to buy it from them! :-/
that's some garage door washing technique ya got there, Amanda
This is actually pretty slick
I wouldn’t trust the magnets to keep them in place, seems like some short screws (from back) would be good.

How does this stand up to weather? The heat of Arizona or the constant rain and wind of Virginia.
How do you adhere a magnet to aluminum doors? Are you counting on the steel framing behind the aluminum to hold the 🧲?
Garage doors are not aluminum they are steel steel like your car rims

Do you make Garage Skins for one piece wooden doors? I like the design on the doors in this video and they seem easier than making them myself.
How strong are the magnets? I don't want to get my fingers smashed in my garage door facade... again...

Adjust?? No no, replace. Especially on a 16x8 door like they showed.
@Matthew Gentit Door springs are easily adjustable... ONLY if you know what you are doing, they can be deadly!

Only for metal doors.
Couldn’t you buy thin sheets of wood and adhere them with hard as nails ? Same idea, except with wood it could go all the way across
Entirely too much weight added.
How heavy are these things? They’re magnets, right?

@@jackaroo2299 it’s about the right size torsion spring .
super cool
I love this but my garage door is wood, do you have something for a wood door?
Stain it
You want to add a faux wood look on top of a real wood door? 🤔
Does this not add weight and throw off the torsion spring ?
Guaranteed it won't balance after.
Yes
@@marywalters1837 Ive tried to reach out and get a sample because I own an overhead door business but last I checked I think they were having funding issues.
Absolutely
If you paste a lot of words like this. Is it possible that the spring is not strong enough?
Hey. Can I use this video for my compilaiton about space saving ideas?
Where can one purchase this.
I know. Like there’s no link?
Do you have it in white?
I guess these wont work over a wooden garage door?
A local woodworker can create a plywood design with trim - and zip screw them to your door.
If a cute little thing like her can do it then I can do it drinking beer

Your 1000% percent right...looking for ideas for mine. This clearly isn't it

@@michaelmichaels2097 zero
After I put it up I went in and got a drink came out and someone stole all my panels probably with a big magnet
How much is a system for the door you are showing?
$4800.00
Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a new door that has that look ?
@@jimdavidson5208 lol give me a break, buy a new door lolol
You can buy a new door with that look if not better looking then that for way less than $4800. Was somewhat interested until I saw how much. Rip off
Do they have any other style door than that ugly barn door look? I would prefer a smooth wood look.
Why use a crappy rotting material like wood?
What about doors with windows?
to be custom made for you

Does anyone else think that looks like shit?

it's never coming i think, but for 25 dollars you can get a weekly update of your spot in line! With n o info on how much the door even costs XD
@@jackaroo2299 Not me. That can keep it!
It's vaporware
All fun & games until your Mother-In-Law comes over & rips the panels clear off by trying to use the faux handle of the faux door. -_-
Until the neighbor kid grabs a panel off to slide down the
Hill
On 😂👎.
Not. These will never hold up to the weather and I don't like that you can see the lines. Better off staining it.
Looks like garbage
If you want to make your own woodworking yourself just look for woodprix website. There is all you need to make it :)
