Measuring and Things To Look Out For
Identifying the correct product for your customer
The Lifestyle screen is designed to occupy exactly the same footprint and space as the permanent garage door, when the garage door is in the down closed position. Therefore, to determine the correct dimensions of the Lifestyle garage door screen to fit a given garage, enter the garage, close the permanent garage door, measure from the left edge to the right edge of the garage door panels to get the width of the Lifestyle screen that you will need, measure from the top edge to the bottom edge of the garage door to get the height of the Lifestyle screen that you will need.
While the Lifestyle Screens garage door screen will work on the majority of garages in some cases it is just not possible.
- Watch out for cabinets installed on the garage side walls and protruding under the tracks of the permanent garage door. The cabinets may prevent the installation of the secondary tracks of the Lifestyle garage door screen.
- Watch out for entry doors that swing into the garage chamber from the home and yard. Sometimes these doors swing under the tracks of the permanent garage door and may not permit the Lifestyle tracks to be installed without interference.
- Watch out for low headroom style garage door tracks. Lifestyle screens will not work with this style of tracks.
In these situations, the choices available to the homeowner may include other products available from Lifestyle Screens: (1) the Olympic retractable garage door screen - motorized with remote and manually operated versions, (2) the Sierra 800 manual retractable screen for large openings.
