    I work on garage doors and I like how you expressed several safety factors, unplugging the motor, pulling the release and also making sure to say to NOT remove the bottom fixture! I wanted to tell you the reason why the #1 hinge has 1 "tunnel" while the rest have 2, and that's actually not exclusive to every #1 hinge. Any hinge #2 and above has 2 tunnels, 1 is for the pivot of the hinge as the panels move thru the track radius and the 2nd is the actual roller carrier, they are gradually spaced out further from the door as you go up in numbers. The reason for the spacing is due to your track, the track should gradually move away from the wall as it goes up, that is to avoid panels scrubbing the top header when opening. Since the track moves away from the wall, the hinges step out further to keep the door closer to the wall and maintain a good seal on your door when it is closed.
    I'm sorry for the long post, you did a great job!

      I once set out to fix my friend's malfunctioning garage door and thought the spring wasn't under tension. I loosened a bolt and something whizzed past my head. After shanging my pants, I figured out what happened and put it back together. Future garage door repairs will be done by a pro.

    About a month ago, I installed these hinges, changed my rollers to nylon with ball bearings, insulated my garage door, and adjusted the spring tension. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Smooth, quiet and NO more rattling and air leaking. Now I'm able to heat my garage EASILY is half the time - and it STAYS heated much easier.

    To be honest, the noise factor is about the same. They do seem to offer a better seal against mild wind conditions, but in a typical northern Ohio winter storm with 20-50 mph wind gusts, those light springs will be pretty much useless. You did an excellent video, clear and concise, no load useless music!

    I’m absolutely blown away that this video was first on my page today. I just had new doors installed two months ago on my detached heated garage, and this is exactly what I was dealing w this morning.
    It was crazy windy and the doors were driving me nuts. The gap was a good 1\2 inch from the seal, and that obviously caused a nasty draft. I’m glad I didn’t call company and complain. I thankfully seen this video and will be fixing it myself. I liked and subscribed, I’m going to like your channel. Thank you!

    Good video and a great product. I installed these and it stopped the chatter on windy days. And yes my doors were adjusted correctly. Also helps seal out the dirt and dust that would escape the weather-strip. If your door is compatible and you live in a windy environment these are a no brainer. Plus you are supporting a good grass roots company who delivers great customer service and a great value for the money. Just get ya some!

    I just "stumbled" over this video and wanted to comment on the Green Hinges. I'm on my second set, as my first set stayed on the door when I moved! One of my first jobs was to swap out the garage door hinges to Green Hinges on the new location. SO much more quiet and my garage heats up MUCH quicker (AND stays warmer, too!) with one of those small 5,000W electric heaters hung from the ceiling! Think about it. IF you had something as "small" as a 1/8th in. gap (some garage doors have 1/4" or more!) around your 16 ft. door it would be like a 2 in. X 12 in. or more hole in your door. You would seal that hole immediately! But because it's "just a small gap" it often goes unnoticed and not dealt with. One other EZ fix is to use a plumbing snake to pull some of the round foam "Backer Rod" you can buy at virtually any Hardware or Home ctr. store. I like to fish a 1 inch diameter into the bottom seal of my doors. That flexible foam works wonders to restore a good seal to a sacked out lower seal. The flexible nature of the round foam also accomodates sealing around some Ice or Snow collection in winter from car tires "imprinting" snow and ice on the door's threshold.

    Thanks for the video .I will be purchasing the Green hinges in the future.I noticed on your material list that you need a 7/16 drill bit this might be a little confusing for someone who is not mechanical inclined a bit drills a hole where as a you need a nut driver or as Amazon calls them ( nut setter bit ) to remove the screws .also from my past experiences I would use a nut driver screwdriver and remove the screws by hand,because if you look at the screw when you take it out it has a pilot bit on the end of the screw( this is known as a self drilling screw)and it is a little smaller in diameter than the threaded part of the screw this is so you don't need to drill a pilot hole first then install the screw for the hinge.if you use the impact it can enlarge the hole that the screw came out of.When reinstalling the screws you can use the impact but only down to about 3/4 the length of the screw then tighten the rest of the way by hand with socket& ratchet or a nut driver screwdriver to lessen the chance of the screw stripping the hole in the metal of your goor.Hope this is helpful for someone who is attempting this repair for the first time .

    • @SG-bb8pq

    I have been installing Garage doors for over 30 years in Canada . That said These green hinges are a good idea for noise reduction. But If you want a seal that wont leak. Have the Elton Rubber hi grade seal installed professionally.Not that cheap vinyl big box store seal , The door will still move in and out but the seal fallows the door .

    • @calvinmitchell6381
      @calvinmitchell6381 ปีที่แล้ว

      The hinges will do a great job at closing that space on both side of the door. Otherwise you would have to readjust the tracks. Then depending on your garage door itself. Some are thick and insulated and some are basically just a thin sheet metal. If you have the cheapo door you can insulate it yourself or buy a kit and install it on the door. Either way you would need to make sure the outside seal is properly adjusted to the door. Mine was worn so I replaced it also. The seal kit is easy to replace. They start out at around $20 but I went all out and bought a better quality one for $41

  • @neonnblack
    @neonnblack ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Won't do much of anything for temp difference. Sounds about identical before and after, but the hinge noise is nothing compared to the cable grind when the door is fully open due to improper installation of the door.
    I'd be surprised if the force limits on the opener didn't need to be reset as doors aren't supposed to be super tight against the opening.
    Also the strut on the bottom panel is in the wrong spot.

  • @williamblue602
    @williamblue602 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Could you comment on the distance from the track to the door. I bought the hinges. I noticed on the Green Hinge website that the installation video recommends 3/4” from the track to the door. They state this is an industry standard. Other websites that I have looked at indicate 1/2”. The Green Hinges are substantially wider than normal hinges, so they need more room so that the rollers will fit. On my door, there is as little as 3/8” from the track to the door, so it looks like I would need to move the track out, which I am not crazy about trying. I talked with the company and they said that sometimes the hinge overhangs the door and also because the hinge is wider you need to check that the roller will fit in the hinge without binding.

  • @matthewkogan7587

    I had a new door installed 2 years ago, best improvement was going to a wall mounted opened instead of the overhead. It cleans up the head space and reduces most of the noise from the drive system. With your other improvements would be nearly silent.

    • @VulgrDisplay
      @VulgrDisplay ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wall mounted openers lead to problems down the road. Especially because they are misused and installed incorrectly all the time.
      They are meant for high lift doors, not standard tracks. You can use them on standard tracks but you need to take steps to keep the cables on the door. Either pitch the tracks downhill so gravity pushes the door down, or add pusher springs to push the door down.
      Over time the hollow shafts on residential doors can twist causing cables to fall off with jackshaft operators.

  • @JeremyDN
    @JeremyDN 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good video with some good info. As for the noise, most of it comes from the actual motor opening the door. If you really want a quiet garage door, look into the side mounted openers. They work awesome and you can stand on my driveway and never hear my door opening at all. Little costly but well worth it. You also cant open them from the outside as with traditional center mounted ones.

    Your opener is supposed to put tension on the door to keep it from moving like that... If you're having this problem you need to adjust the travel on the opener. There is some adjusting you can do with the tracks as well to pull the door closer to the opening.

    We got nice and cold in Oklahoma a couple years ago -17 F ! Just kept a water jug in the attached garage to see if it froze. No sense in heating an attached garage unless your going to be spending a lot of time in there. I have a nice woodstove in the house and spend most my time there when its cold! You could keep a space heater down there and keep the door to the house closed! I increased the framing on the outside of the house to effectively reduce the 16' garage door to an 8' opening. Those big doors are a beast to own! Dangerous also.

    Professional door installers lubricate the overhead springs on both sides with WD-40 and lubricate all hinges and rollers with garage door lubricant spray. Using a rubber belt driven door opener vs a chain will also make it quiet. There is a vertical track product called “ThermoTraks” that move the door tight against the seals.
