9x7 used garage doors

Appearance is often the top priority for homeowners when choosing a second-hand garage door. Used 9x7 garage doors often take up a significant portion of a house's exterior, and choosing the right 9x7 garage door can have an immediate impact on curb appeal.

Sectional Used Garage Doors

Used sectional garage doors are made up of panel sections that are connected with hinges. As the garage door opens and closes, wheels at the edge of each panel roll inside a vertical track on each side of the door opening. This feature allows the garage security door to sit parallel to the ceiling when completely open or in line with the walls when completely closed. These used garage doors are typically made from steel, are low maintenance, and can be customized to include window inserts, hardware, textures, and colors. They come in both insulated and non-insulated models.

Roll-Up Used Garage Doors

These used roll-up garage doors are found to be more widely used in commercial applications. Used roll-up doors are actually a no-frills design option built for areas with limited ceiling space. They are built to withstand heavy usage, and high-performance units can be built without springs or enclosed to prevent rust, corrosion, and freezing. The roll-up model's heavy-duty feature results in greater initial costs than a sectional design.

Slide-to-the-Side Garage Doors

The used slide-to-the-side garage door operates just like the name implies—by bending to one side of the garage and sitting parallel to the wall. These used garage doors were among the earliest operating styles and were widely used for garages with little headroom. They move upon lower trolleys that are flexible enough to work with slight slopes in the floor or ceiling. Used slide-to-the-side doors feature a retractable motor integrated into them that enables automatic operation without the need for a ceiling-mounted operator. Thus, they do not require balancing springs.
