Clopay/Ideal has strong distribution and can get anywhere in the U.S. with a lifetime warranty on the steel back insulated doors through qualified local installers (not direct Clopay employees).

Ideal door (a Clopay Brand) uses a dealer network just like the Clopay brand. Go to www.idealdoors.com to find your local Ideal Door brand dealer. Ideal door does not have any installerss of their own, just hard working dealers, with no knife injuries... :) Thanks and good wishes to door installers.

No one else even comes close to their quality. But if you insist on buying 3 cheap doors in the life of one Raynor door please listen up. Number 2 would be Mid-American. Number 3 would be Amarr from a dealer or Reliabuilt from Lowes, but I dont know who would still be an Amarr dealer, now that the corporation is selling around them through Lowes, (knife in the back). Number 4 would be CHI and Martin doors. Number 5 would be Clopay. You can also get a Clopay on a New Home direct from Clopay, but it called an Ideal door, and it is installed by employees of the corporation directly, and never goes through a dealers hands. Another knife in the back of honest, hardworking garage door dealers. Number 6 would be Windsor First United Door and Overhead Door (Genie). The worst doors of all are Wayne-Dalton, now that Stanley went out of business, no one builds a worse door than Wayne-Dalton. Just a little info for those in the dark about quality:

Any one who ever went through Lowes of Home Depot to buy a garage door got hooked. They don't know anything about doors so either the order is wrong it is the wrong door for the application. The price is way too high, and the level of skill of the installers is very suspect. Now real garage door companies subcontract for Lowes and Home Depot. Only the crappy ones who can't get business of their own. The pay rate is so low, that their employees, or installers, if you want to call them that, are terrible. Very low paid, beginner level trainees. One should only buy a garage door from a garage door company, not a 5 and dime or hardware store. Lastly, the only real garage doors made any longer are Raynor doors, all the rest are cheap imitations, glued together, priced to sell over the phone, and built to last a few years at best.

I am looking at Wayne-Dalton, Clopay and Hormann. I want a white raised panel metal insulated door, no windows. Nothing fancy just a garage door. The Clopay and Wayne-Dalton are approx. $950 and the Hormann is $350 more. These prices include everything except a new opener as I replaced it about a year ago. Any advice would be appreciated as there is not much info. on the web. Angel, I live in a suburb of Chicago. I am looking at Wayne-Dalton, Clopay and Hormann.

I have received bids from two local companies; both have been in business for over ten years; and will get a third bid tomorrow. The first company sells clopay doors and the second company sells Hormann doors. Not sure who the third company sells. The Hormann door is approx. $400 more then the Clopay. Can anyone tell me if there is a real difference between the two? I am currently looking for a new garage door.
