Frequently Asked Garage Door and Opener Questions
For quick answers to common garage door and opener questions, check our FAQs below.
- Question: What are the standard sizes of Overhead Door’s residential garage doors?
Standard sizes are whole width increments starting at 8' wide and going to 20' wide. Some door series have sizes smaller than that. Standard heights are 7' and 8' tall. Odd-heights and odd-widths are also available and vary by individual door series.
- Question: Can my garage door be painted?
Overhead Door’s steel garage doors for residential and commercial applications can be painted in the color of your choosing, with 100-percent acrylic latex paint. Some doors can also be powder coated, and we offer 197 powder coat colors to best complement the look of your home or your facility.
- Question: Can I replace a section of my door, or do I need to replace the whole door?
Depending upon the damage involved to the garage door system, replacing only a section of your garage door is possible in some cases. For additional help, your Overhead Door Red Ribbon® Distributor, can answer your garage door questions, evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action
- Question: What is R-value, and how does it benefit me?
R-value is a standardized measurement of thermal efficiency. The higher the R-value, the greater the garage door’s insulating properties. Overhead Door manufactures insulated garage doors for residential and commercial applications, with a broad range of R-values designed to meet your needs. Our Thermacore® doors offer the highest R-values up to 17.5
- Question: I have a low ceiling in my garage. Will a garage door and opener work in this space?
- Yes. A residential garage door requires a minimum of 4 1/2” of headroom space. Your garage door system may need a low-headroom track system or a low-headroom-torsion rear-track system. For a garage door opener, you will need slightly more headroom (about 6 1/2” minimum).
- Question: Can my non-insulated door be insulated?
Yes, your Overhead Door Red Ribbon® Distributor has insulation kits available for installation on non-insulated garage doors.
- Question: What garage door best complements my home’s architecture?
This is a common question when it comes to choosing a garage door. Overhead Door offers many designs, with a number of options to further customize your garage door.
- For a contemporary look to set your home apart, our Modern Aluminum Collection features garage doors that combine glass and aluminum for unparalleled visual style, strength and light infiltration. It’s a unique solution for your extraordinary home.

- Question: What is DC Motor Technology that is featured in some of Overhead Door openers?
DC motor operates with variable speed for soft start and stop, smooth operation and less wear and tear on your garage door.
- Question: How can I get a new remote control for my opener?
Your Overhead Door Red Ribbon® Distributor can provide you with a broad range of garage door opener and opener accessories, from remote controls to wireless keypads. You first need to determine if your opener is a newer model with CodeDodger® or an older model without CodeDodger®. If your opener was manufactured before 1980, then you have an analog-type opener for which we no longer carry remotes. If that is the case, your system has to be upgraded with a new receiver kit for a new remote control to work with it. For additional garage door opener help or to purchase a new receiver kit, contact your Overhead Door Red Ribbon® Distributor.
