Dan's Garage Door Blog - Archive – News

Meteorological Spring made its glorious arrival this past Monday, and Daylight Saving Time will kick in next Sunday the 14th.  What kind of winter has it been around your house?

With garage doors getting a workout all winter in the “car protection” mode, it is possible that you may find a few pieces of hardware (screws, nuts, bolts) strewn on  the front half of your garage floor.  After picking them up to avoid a flat tire, have a look around on the door to see where they came from.  If you can’t make out from where, how is the garage door functioning lately?  Run a cycle on the door and watch.  If you observe buckling or strange noises while in travel, you may need a low-involvement repair.  Call Dan at DDM and get confidence, with knowledgeable advice.

This advice may necessitate a repair, or simply a lubrication.  But if you get it addressed now, you can save trouble and expense down the road.  Have a GREAT spring!

(Warning:  As always, be careful around garage doors and their parts, and call a professional for the work if you have any doubt about your ability to service them safely).

Greetings!  DDM Garage Doors owner Dan Musick has been busy for some time, and this accounts for the absence of posts you may have noticed.   But I’m ready to get writing to keep you abreast of Dan’s thoughts, ideas, tips, and happenings, and so put the DDM blog on a consistent stream again.  Stay tuned for more on a weekly basis.

I am Jim Quattrochi, the support contact for DDM.

I have published numerous articles discussing garage door ideas and garage door-related service at sites like ezinearticles and eHow.  Feel welcome to navigate the full DDM site for the wealth of information Dan offers from his storehouse of more than thirty years’ experience in the industry.

I will be posting to this blog on a regular basis.  The aim of this journal will be to keep the community posted on stories, events, and ideas.  Always, there will be a view to convey their import for those who desire to maintain and repair their own garage doors, buy quality parts, or obtain the best professional garage door service possible.

Sincerely, Jim

Congratulations, Erich Musick!

Erich has been instrumental in propelling DDM Garage Doors into the internet sales of residential and commercial garage door parts, especially the sales of garage door springs. He has achieved this with a comprehensive web page that includes special instructions for replacing torsion springs.

We are happy to announce the addition of wood carriage house doors to our product line.

These are manufactured by a new startup company near Rochester, NY. Andy Hodenius, founder and owner of On Track Garage Door Services, has recently applied his training and experience in tool and die-making to manufacturing these high-end wooden doors under the banner of On Track Custom Garage Doors. Their pages should be up in the coming months.

Customers will be happy with the superb quality built into every door. If you have any questions about the doors, you can call Andy at 585-352-5125.
