Unlock Your Garage's Full Potential

Smart Garage Door Service does high lift garage door conversions for all of Denver Metro. With high lift garage door conversions, Smart Garage Door Service will change the garage door track system to make best use of your garage’s vertical space for car lifts, storage, RVs and Commercial Equipment. Most residential garages have ceilings that are to tall for use with standard garage door systems. The standard track for garage doors goes from vertical on the garage wall up to horizontal at the top of the door.

 

Most garage doors travel up the tracks to the top only to sit in a recessed area of the garage ceiling. In order to utilize your garage for taller vehicles, overhead storage, RV’s, boat lifts, or other Commercial Equipment high lift garage door conversion can be installed by Smart Garage Door Service to lift your garage door up higher off the ceiling. This way you can still open and close your door and have use of the tall garage ceiling for storage of whatever you need.

 

We service, install and convert many garage door systems to high lift configurations for residential and commercial customers all over Denver Metro.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much ceiling height do I need for a high lift conversion?
Minimum Ceiling Height: We need at least 2 to 3 feet of head room above the door opening. That way we can open the garage door and have enough room for lifting vehicles, tall storage solutions, or even parking large RVs in the garage. We will provide you with a written estimate during which we will also take measurements of your garage. We will let you know the ceiling height required to perform a high lift conversion on your garage door.
This depends on the model of garage door opener that is currently in place. While some openers can be modified to work with the extended track system of a high lift garage door, others will need to be completely replaced. At your free estimate we will discuss your existing garage door opener and provide you with options for completing your high lift garage door conversion. We will outline the cost of any necessary garage door opener modifications in the scope of work for your project.
Costs vary greatly based on the size of your door(s) as well as how much lift is required. Additionally, the cost of opener modifications is generally included in the overall cost of the conversion. We provide free estimates to help you understand what the specific conversion to high lift will cost for your garage.
Residential high lift garage door conversions typically are completed in one day or less. Large commercial jobs with many doors and or very complex systems could require multiple days to complete.

Standard garage door track systems are bent from vertical along the garage wall to horizontal just above the top of the door opening. This allows the door to travel up the vertical sections of the track, and then continue horizontally along the ceiling of the garage. As you can see from the illustration, most of the space in the garage above the door opening is consumed by the door as it travels up the vertical sections of the track.

 

A high lift garage door conversion extends the upper section of the track system above the typical garage door height. The door travels up the side of the garage higher than normal before crossing to the horizontal section of the track above the garage door opening. When open, the door can now sit much higher in the ceiling providing ample room for overhead storage of garages with tall ceilings. These garage doors can be particularly useful for 2 post car lifts or overhead storage in garage workshop spaces where there is a lot of ceiling height available.
