Hello,
I am thinking of getting a 4-post car lift for my garage, but there is a
problem with
the door. The garage has a 12-foot ceiling, and the two doors are about 6'6"
high, with
a conventional track and opener system. Thus, the horizontal portion of the
tracks
is only about seven feet high, and there is five feet of unusable space above
the tracks.
What I really want is are tracks that rise almost vertically almost to the
ceiling,
and then travel only a couple of feet horizontally, well out of the way of the
car lift.
Do you think this is possible using conventional vertical-lift residential
garage door technology?
Will a typical garage door installer be able or willing to deal with this? I
would rather
not have to change the entire door system, because I need to modify only
one door, and they really ought to match.
I guess I could use swing-out doors, but then I would have to rebuild both door
frames
and replace both doors, and even the unaffected door would have to be manually
opened.
