How to Build Garage Shop Doors

Cut knot off measure from other end lol. Good job on the bracing, most people reverse this which renders it useless. Nicely done bud thanks for sharing.

Great video. Straight to the building without fiddling around. I will be using your design to build me a couple of those doors later in the year. Thanks!

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

I really appreciate that, glad I could help!

[@chrishouse5753]

Nice and simple. I'd flip that top diagonal the other way around (and cut them a little differently) - you want all that pulling down weight from the open edge of the door to transfer into the hinged side of the door (like your lower brace) rather than pulling from the hinge (like the top brace). Hope that helps.

[@bobthompson7508]

I was in the same boat, I have had a door on order for about three months now and they are telling me it could be another three months. Thanks for the video I am going this way.

This was amazing! I just had a company come and look at my two car garage and they wanted $5000-$8000 to replace my busted tri-folds with standard raising doors!!! No thank you. For that price I think i'll try it myself. Very impressed with your work and explanations. You have a charismatic smile too!

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Awesome, thank you!

[@rixtrix11]

Thanks again for posting this! I got the 2 doors made, trimmed, insulated and painted. I had to use 1/4" plywood as the rockwool insulation is too dense to cover smoothly with 1/8" luan. The doors fit great, don't sag and can easily be opened and closed, even though each one weighs over 100#. I also used 2 packs of the metal lock barrel bolt you have listed in the description; work great!

Good job sir. My carport height was just shy of what I needed for a standard garage door. I am a carpenter by trade, so when I was searching for ideas, I came across your video. I’ve used your idea on my house but I added windows to each door. Anyway, I appreciate your upload and from the looks of the comments, you’ve inspired many to do the same! 👍🏽

[@nicholascrider2147]

Help me out here. What is the justification for the bracing that goes from the middle, back upward towards the hinge side. I understand the bracing that goes from the bottom hinge to the middle, as that is under compression. It seems like the other brace is not adding support against gravity puling the weight of the door down. As I understand it, the brace should be on the bottom of the hinge side, stretching all the way up to the top of the opening side. Am I wrong about this? Is there a reason for the reverse bracing?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

You can build them that way and be fine I'm sure, I opt for this way as I have for many I have done and have had none to very little sag with this style. I do use the other method when using the 2x4's laying flat but it's just my preference for these doors Nicholas. thank you for the input and watching the video I appreciate it!

Hi Mr. Adams. By how much smaller did you make the frame against the opening? What is your tolerance? Thank you so much in advance.

How much gap between the 2 doors, so when you open one up, the 2x4 dont rub against each other? Great work and hoping to build mine for the garage using your plans. Heavy duty hinges right?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Kenneth, I butt the hinge side as close as possible, top I leave 1/8 inch as they will sag a little, the bottom I leave 1/2 inch and center to be able to open with 2x4 frame is 3/4" to an 1 inch and yes heavy-duty hinges are worth the money

[@TheDreamweaver18]

Doors look great. Very nicely done. I need to build a set with each door being 6’wide and 12’ high. Would I approach doors of that size any differently than the method you used?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Jacob, if you are planning to insulate them I would say put an X frame inside but if no insulation is needed or very little I would lay the framing flat for less sag but either way I would run a diagonal adjustable cable for extra strength. Let us know how it goes!

[@rixtrix11]

Great video! I'm using it to make similar doors for my new 24x32 shop with a 9'x10' door opening. 6-7 month delivery expectations and cost especially are 2 things why I decided to go this way. Also, my shop will be used mostly for building my 1966 Chevelle autocross car, welding and personal vehicle maintenance, so I don't really need doors that are convenient and easy to open several times a day or week. Have you another video on how you sealed the door, yet?

This might be a stupid question but isn't it a security concern that someone could unscrew the hinges and enter the space? Is there a way to improve the security?

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Sure by using carriage bolts instead, this one however is in the fenced back yard. If somebody really wants in they are going to get in. It's kind of like someone installing a huge thick front door with all the deadbolts and locks and have a window right next to it.

Can't quite picture how you can have it overlap and all stay on the same line

Hello and welcome, Yes that is what I did by using a 1x6 for the center overlap. Good eye!

Do you have more detailed video or comment of how you kept the door panel in the correct position while attaching the hinges. I've never seen the hinges attached to both the door and building at the same time. Thanks

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

Hi Dave, I actually set the door frames in the opening and shim them where they are to be and then mark the frame where the panel grooves match up then when doors are done I set them back in the opening and set the trim on the doors so I know that I can install the hinges while keeping the doors straight. I hope that is what your question was.

I’m almost 50yo, and have learned how to do all this types of things around the house or basically manual labor. I know is because it was needed, but also because I was doing it with my father or someone else who took the time to show me. We often say “this generation doesn’t want to work, or doesn’t know” the reason why KZbin is popular is because we are so busy with life, and don’t show them. Or we don’t need to build them. But let’s not blame them or try to shame them. The new generations have their own skills, and opportunities to improve. Just my point of view.

Brothers/Sisters, if you have an issue with fiber glass insulation irritating your skin. I have a simple solution. I used to run a machine that stuffed fiber glass into automotive mufflers. At the end of week 1 I looked like a full blown method addict. I had scratched my arms to the point they were bleeding. One day a vendor walked by and told me " I used to look like that. I ran a fiber glass machine. I found that shaking baby powder on my arms and neck then patting it in made it impossible for the fiber glass to penetrate my skin."

@@kalzonenu Thank you for your answer and follow-up. Now I have all the details (I think) to build the door. I saved your video, noted the response, purchased the wood, and I am waiting for the monsoons to go away because I need to build it outside. I am also subscribed to your channel. Thanks again.

@@fernandorivera7155 I understand that, we got hit hard with monsoons this year which is great because we need the water. Thanks for subbing to the channel I sure appreciate it.

Nearly $9 for 2x4? I paid ~$2.50/ea yesterday, and even Lowes price is under $4.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

How do you think I feel I had to pay it if I wanted lumber! LOL I am glad lumber prices have realigned since the blip.

[@TheOutlawGeneralBacon]

Can you come help me?😂.. I want the same thing except with a man door.. to fit a gap 11'6 ×7'3

You could always frame a walk-through door within the larger door like we door within barn doors

After months waiting for a garage door I decided to build my own garage shop doors which was the best decision I think. 2 Pack Metal Lock Barrel Bolt: amzn.to/3wwgh6X 6 Pack T Strap Hinge Shed Hinge: amzn.to/3tkn2qr Door Latch T-Handle Lock Kit: amzn.to/3wge7rB Lower door seal: amzn.to/3VBhPFp

Noooo 8.96 each? For 2x4 That can't be right it's usually about a third of that

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

It was during the blip, you know when not much was available so you paid out the butt to get what you could. Supply and Demand!

[@kevindouglas8768]

You did really good until I watched you drill that hole in the concrete. It's going to fill with dirt, but mostly water, then freeze a few times. That slab will have a weak stop forever.

[@ILikeToBuildStuff]

I sure appreciate you joining in here and the comment it means a lot to me that you would take the time to watch my video!

[@kevindouglas8768]

@@ILikeToBuildStuff I drilled a hole at the head of the stall and used it as a "dead man" to help me jerk vehicles up the slope and into the garage. When the holes weren't being used, I capped them. Worked great for years. Enjoy :)
