Garage door. 2 single to 1 double in 7 minutes

Skandoor removed our 2 single garage doors and replaced them with a double sectional door in 6 hours.
Shot from inside our conservatory to avoid dust, resulting in unwanted reflections.

Good seeing a team keeping the work area clean & tidy as they progress.

Great team work. It’s nice to see workmen clearing up after themselves. Good job lads. Top marks 👍🏾

[@dantosinferne]

absolutely incredible! i don't know the first thing about installing garage doors but i can still tell these guys are very skilled. beautiful job

[@glen7463]

No pad stones no motor bed no anti corrosion paint no building regs. Nice

[@mikejames4271]

You don't need building regs for that.

[@Perfectbuckets]

Nice work. It amazes me how many ppl get so accustomed to not wearing any gloves and more importantly safety glasses. Mind boggling how little regard people have for their eyes in particular. One wrong move or spark, etc and blind forever.

[@ChevyARt15]

Good video. That opens up the garage a lot.

[@theessexhunter1305]

Very neat, just one thing a few safety glasses would be on my list as I was up the hospital a few times until the penny dropped and the guy at the clinic had a bit of a word abt my eyes.

[@zoom7533]

Have never seen such fast workers! Incredible!

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Why was this NOT built like the after result in the first place?!?!? The resulting double sectional door makes the space USEFUL. I can't figure why people don't build things right the first time! No matter, you got what you need done. I love this video. I was just wanting to see how this gets done.

[@cdf6333]

I want to do the opposite someday. A few years ago a spring broke on my double and I was trapped with both cars inside. Can't lift the double with a bad spring, a single I could have. Plus, a sinlge can use extension springs found at all the home stores.

[@rl9702]

Why not just proactively replace the springs ever 5-6 years?

[@cdf6333]

That's my plan, has to be professionally done at about $300-$400. @@rl9702

[@alfredbarrow1543]

Very impressed with your video and your workers skill levels. Could you please tell me the size of the beam they used to span the opening, its thickness, hight and the width of opening.

[@darknes7800]

It would not matter what beam he used. The I beam is specifically selected by the engineering firm, to support the load of his garage. A beam for your house / garage would be different.

@Fedup10710 0 seconds ago My Dad did this type of hard and dirty work day in and day out for over 70 years in the garage door business. Dust, asbestos, fiberglass , whatever chemicals. No safety glasses, no face coverings, non insulated power tools. Mud, snow standing across the top steps of a 14 foot A-frame ladder. Retired at 91 because he tore ligaments in his right ankle getting it caught under the ottoman at home. 94 years old and still healthy as someone half his age, just has to walk with cane now. Parents married 72 going on 73 years.

Highly impressed with the attention to PPE, Hats off to you (literally) No gloves , no ear defenders. I guess as on a private property you are not required.

The doctor checks him out and says: "Well apart from a crushed toe, vibration white finger, that glass eye and emphysema you're fine, did you by any chance work on replacing garage doors back in 2023?"

[@solacedagony1234]

I feel like this is an obvious question but didn't see it answered in the comments. How do you know it was structurally safe to remove that brick pillar in the middle?

[@timbishop4063]

The brick pillar was supporting the ends of the original 2 light weight beams - one for each gap - you saw them being removed. A survey calculated how heavy duty the single beam needed to be - it looks pretty strong to me though I wasn't involved in the calculation. One pessimistic commentator suggests it will all collapse - I promise to upload a new video if he proves to be right. Anyway, my glass is half full!
