Talk:Garage door

message: I reluctantly added the statement "The great force on these springs can make them dangerous to replace for the inexperienced handyman."  I really wanted to say, "This is a job for the cautious and experienced handyman only," but that sounded unencyclopedic.  Honestly, there are a lot of induhviduals who should hire this work out.

message: Does anyone else think this article should be semi-protected? Every time I see an edit, it seems like it's an anon adding a link to their garage door company. It seems to be a total spam magnet, without many people watching it. Does it make sense to sprotect, or is that an overreaction? Mak (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also believe this article needs to be semi-protected. It isn't an overreaction if the offenders have repeatedly posted advertisements.--Thetaintcleanser 11:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Added heading in the main article about roller doors. An article exists on Wikipedia for "roller shutters" but this does not adequately cover garage door applications.

message: In the Roller Doors section, there is reference to "an aluminium lathe filled with urethane foam for thermal and acoustic insulation."  Like the rest of the article, there's no reference to check up on this.  I'm pretty sure lathe is a misprint for lath, but I don't live in the UK or EU, aluminium would be a strange material to use for a lath (especially one that's intended to hold thermal insulation), and I've never seen a garage door that fits this description.  Maybe someone who understands this construction can both find a reference, and fix the terminology.  I assume urethane really means polyurethane? Larry Doolittle (talk) 06:59, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Can anyone explain how Garage door and Garage door opener came to be two separate articles? --Paul Carpenter (talk) 10:45, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably because back in 2004 is was thought, quite reasonably, that Garage door opener was an independently notable subtopic. The references on that article seem to support that idea. Given the independent notability, oppose. Klbrain (talk) 21:47, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 14:35, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
