Garage Door Basics
How much do garage doors cost?
The cost of a garage door will vary depending on size, material, brand, and style – and whether you need a commercial or residential one. The only way to know exactly how much a garage door will cost is to have us give you a free estimate. Contact us to get started.
How do I know what size garage door I need?
Garage doors come in many sizes. To determine the size of garage door you need, measure your existing garage door. Take note of both height and length. If you don’t currently have a functional garage door, the Tracker Door Systems team can come out and take measurements so that we can help you order the correct size garage door and install it for you.
Can I order a custom-sized garage door?
Yes, most garage door manufacturers can create custom-sized doors. Talk to us for details.
What kind of garage door is best for my home?
Garage doors come in various styles and materials. Choosing yours is a personal decision, depending on your goals for functionality, curb appeal, price, energy efficiency, and durability. Learn more about garage door materials in our blog.

Residential Garage Doors
Can you help me with my garage door at home?
Yes. Tracker Door Systems specializes in residential garage door service and would be honored to help you with garage door maintenance, repair, and installation. We also install operators and entry keypads.
What brands of residential garage doors do you carry?
Tracker Door Systems is an authorized dealer of CHI, Amarr, Safe-way, Clopay, and Midland residential garage doors. We believe these manufacturers are among the most innovative and trustworthy in the industry, allowing us to offer durable and quality doors, as well as peace of mind, to our customers.
How are residential garage doors different from commercial ones?
Commercial garage doors are usually larger, made of industrial-strength metals, use multiple large torsion springs, have more powerful openers, and are more heavily insulated. Generally commercial garage doors are not recommended for residential homes, and vice versa. The Tracker Door Systems team can help you choose the right one for your property.
Garage Door Maintenance
Does my garage door need maintenance?
Yes, just like anything else in your home, maintaining your garage door should be on your to-do list. You should keep your garage door and all its parts clean. Lubricate any moving parts, except the nylon rollers and track. Tighten any loose parts and regularly test your safety sensors – the photo eyes that prevent the door from closing on an object or person in its path. Read more about garage door maintenance in our blog.
Do you perform garage door maintenance?
Yes. Our experienced technicians can keep your garage door working as good as new. If you need a tune-up, contact Tracker Door Systems for an appointment.
Can I perform maintenance myself?
Property owners can perform basic garage door maintenance themselves. However, maintenance mistakes can be costly. If you don’t know proper techniques, please leave it to the professionals. We’re here to help you when you need us.
Garage Door Repair
My remote doesn’t work anymore. What should I do?
If your remote isn’t opening your garage door, first change the batteries in it, if applicable.
If that doesn’t work, inspect your garage door opener. Is it plugged in? Is the emergency release cord triggered? Is the power on in your garage?
If you discovered that your remote isn’t working while attempting to close your garage door, ensure the safety sensors on either side of the door are aligned, and nothing is in their paths.
If your garage door opener still doesn’t work, contact Tracker Door Systems for diagnosis and repair.
My garage door is falling apart. Can you fix it?
In some cases, garage doors can be repaired. However, certain damage is not repairable. In this case, you may need a new garage door. We’re happy to send a technician to your property to take a look and provide recommendations.
