What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a One-Piece / Tilt-Up Door?
A door made from one solid panel that pivots outward and upward in a single motion.
Jamb-hinged (canopy): Pivot arms at the jambs; part of the door projects outward when open.
Track-hinged (retractable): Short overhead tracks draw the panel back; less exterior projection, smoother travel.
Both require proper counterbalance springs and precise geometry at the pivots/arms for safe, quiet operation.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Consult → removal → installation → tune under a single PM.
Every configuration: Jamb-hinged canopy style or retractable track-hinged systems; single or double-wide.
Occupied-space pros: Floor protection, dust control, tidy wiring, same-day cleanup.
Coastal-smart: Corrosion-resistant hardware and fasteners for OC marine air.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Measure rough opening and note headroom and side room at the jambs.
Check driveway swing-out clearance (cars/landscaping) for the door’s arc.
Snap interior photos of existing pivots/springs or tracks (if converting).
Call our team—we’ll confirm the right tilt-up style, springs, and opener pairing for your space.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Mid-century and bungalow homes keeping the original façade style
Low headroom openings where sectional conversions complicate track paths
Driveways with adequate swing-out (we verify arc and clearance)
Historic/HOA settings preserving original look with modern hardware
Retrofits from aging wood tilt-ups to reinforced, balanced replacements
Design & Site Check
Verify opening, jamb condition, headroom/side room, driveway arc, and floor level; protect floors and access paths.
Assessment & Measurements
Record panel size/weight target, pivot geometry, and spring specs; choose jamb-hinged vs track-hinged; confirm finish, windows, and hardware.
Removal & Haul-Away
Secure the panel; safely de-tension or isolate old springs; remove existing pivots/arms/tracks; vacuum debris; responsible disposal.
Professional Installation
Install new pivots/arms or retractable tracks, counterbalance springs, safety cables (where applicable), reinforcement struts/plates; square and plumb the panel; anchor into structural members.
Opener Integration (Optional)
Pair with a properly sized belt-drive or jackshaft opener (as appropriate); set travel/force limits; align safety sensors and controls.
Seal, Tune & Walkthrough
Fit bottom and perimeter seals, set spring tension for balanced hand-lift, lubricate contact points, and train you on operation and care.
What’s Included
Design consult & measurement (pivot geometry, springs, opener pairing)
Old door/hardware removal and responsible haul-away
New tilt-up system install (panel, pivots/arms or retractable tracks, springs, safety cables, reinforcement)
Weather sealing (bottom sweep + side/top seals as specified)
Opener integration (new or existing, if compatible/sized correctly)
Final tune, safety verification & homeowner training with documentation
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: Single door 3–4 hours; double 4–6+ hours, depending on site conditions and hardware type.
Key cost drivers: Door width/weight, system type (jamb-hinged vs track-hinged), finish and window options, opener class, coastal hardware upgrades, and any framing reinforcement needed.
Estimate clarity: Itemized line items for door/panel, pivots/arms or tracks, springs/safety hardware, opener (if any), installation/haul-away, and optional upgrades (threshold ramp, custom color, wind-load kit).
Insurance & Claims Help
Impact/storm event? We’ll supply before/after photos, measurements, and a concise damage narrative if a claim applies.
Separated scopes: Temporary securing (if needed) vs. permanent tilt-up replacement priced clearly.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Spring or pivot failure leading to sudden drops or binding
Opener strain and gear failure trying to lift an unbalanced panel
Clearance issues that worsen as pivots wear, risking vehicle/facade contact
Water/wind intrusion without proper seals, driving up energy and repair costs
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Panel & Reinforcement: Engineered wood/composite or insulated skins; struts/plates at high-stress points; true, rigid frame.
Pivots & Arms: Heavy-duty jam-bhinges/pivot plates or retractable carriers; correct geometry for smooth arc and minimal racking.
Counterbalance: Proper extension or torsion-style springs sized to panel weight; safety cables on extension systems; calibrated tension.
Fasteners: Structural anchorage into studs/headers; corrosion-appropriate hardware for coastal OC.
Sealing: Bottom sweep, side/top weatherstrips; optional threshold ramp to block wind/water.
Openers & Safety: UL 325 compliant sensors, rolling-code remotes; opener class matched to door weight/geometry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tilt-up vs sectional—what’s better?
Tilt-ups preserve a classic single-panel look and can work in low-headroom spaces; sectionals offer less swing-out and wider style catalogs. We’ll recommend based on your site and goals.
Will a tilt-up door hit my car when opening?
We verify the swing arc during design. Track-hinged (retractable) systems project less; we’ll specify the safest option for your driveway.
Are tilt-ups compatible with modern openers?
Yes—when properly balanced and sized, we pair with belt-drive or jackshaft openers and set force/travel limits to spec.
Can tilt-ups be insulated or include windows?
Absolutely—insulated panels and glass lites (clear, satin, tinted, or IGU) are available; we’ll balance springs accordingly.
Do you remove and haul away the old door?
Yes—safe isolation/de-tensioning, removal, and responsible disposal are included.
What warranties are included?
Manufacturer coverage for hardware/finish plus our workmanship warranty; details appear on your proposal.
