One wide door or two single doors for a two-car garage, sized, supported and balanced for the extra width.
A two-car opening is wide, and a wide door needs the right support. Sixteen-foot doors are common, and they use reinforcing struts, strong springs and sturdy tracks to stay straight as they travel. Many homes in Nashville have a double door, and others have two separate single doors with a center post. Each layout has its own benefits.
We start by measuring the opening and checking the header for sag and the framing for plumb. We discuss one wide door versus two singles, and we choose springs and hardware sized for the weight. Wide doors are heavy, so we take extra care setting struts, balancing springs and aligning the tracks, and we check the opener has enough power for smooth travel.
A single sixteen-foot door gives a clean look and a wide opening, with struts to keep it rigid.
Two doors with a center post can be easier to repair and reduce the load on each opener.
We check that the header holds its shape, since a sagging header makes a wide door bind.
Double doors need properly sized springs and an opener with enough power for the extra weight.

One wide door is simple and clean. Two singles can be easier to repair and may suit older openings. We help you choose.
They carry more weight, so springs and rollers wear a little sooner, and a yearly check helps.
A single wide door uses one opener, and two single doors use one each.
Often, if the header can span the width. We check the framing first.
