Re: Raising Garage Door Tacks?
I had to have that done at my old house. Not every garage door company does it. Don't know why though because it's not that big of a deal.

Re: Raising Garage Door Tacks?
I did it at my house. You have to find a garage door installer that is willing to sell you the torsion mech (based on weight), spare tracks and extra panels. Here are some pics. Since these have been takem, I added an opener. Its very tight at the top, but does work and clears the Camaro

Re: Raising Garage Door Tacks?
Thanks guys I really appreciate the help!
As you can see from the attached pic, I have about 4 feet clear under the ceiling, so I should have no problem clearing the cars with the door once it is raised. I have asked the installation company for a quote, but no response so far...

Re: Raising Garage Door Tacks?
I wish we had more space here James, but we live in the city and land is at a huge premium. We have no choice but to stack cars with a lift. The two bays on the right are off-limits to everyone else...they get the bay on the left for their junk
