Garage Door Parts, Accessories, Hardware & Supplies - Bottom panel rotted http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1281047392/0#0 Everclear Windows And Doors Forum/Garage Door Parts, Accessories, Hardware & Supplies http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1281047392/0#0 The bottom part of my bottom panel has a few spots that's rotted, it's not bad, just boogered up a little. Is there anything to add to the bottom of the panel to repair that? I'm thinking of a piece like they give you for the bottom of screen doors to cover any gaps Or can I just replace the one panel? It's an older door - made of wood and hollow, about 1 3/8 thick Thanks Tony General Information For Everclear Windows & Doors Products - Therma-Tru Doors, What it means to be Green!!! http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1213372872/1#1 Everclear Windows And Doors Forum/General Information For Everclear Windows & Doors Products http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1213372872/1#1 This is really useful information.

Effective August 29, 2010, Underwriters Laboratories will require all commercial door operators manufactured on or after this date to be fully compliant to UL325 2010, the standard to which commercial door operators must comply in order to achieve UL approval and bear the UL325 mark. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? · All commercial door operators bearing the UL label must continuously monitor safety devices such as photo-sensors and sensing edges – this is a MANDATORY requirement for operation other than constant-pressure-to-close! · A manufacturer's inability to comply will result in the operator being limited to basic C2, constantpressure- to-close, operation. No other wiring types or special features, such as timer-to-close, will be permissible without compliance. · Monitored photo-sensor or sensing edge safety devices are mandatory, and both must be designed to provide continuous status updates to the operator, which, in turn, must be designed to receive and monitor these updates. Auxiliary non-monitored safety devices, such as a pneumatic sensing edge, are permissible, but only in conjunction with the monitored safety devices. · Monitored photo-sensors and sensing edges must be tested in conjunction with the operator by UL as being compliant with the operator as a safety system. Retractable Screens - How to tighten screen http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1278482431/0#0 Everclear Windows And Doors Forum/Retractable Screens http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1278482431/0#0 I just installed my retractable screen door. I love it! Unfortunately my dog tried to run through the door today. I was worried about that. It was easy enough to get back on the track but now it's a little loose at the top. I got the one that came assembled so that we didn't have to wind the screen in the housing. Can the screen be wound tighter? Should I take it back off the track and pull it all the way out and then get it back on the track. What can I do? I'm so bummed. This dog is a disaster as far as how much she's cost me in vet bills and damage. <img src="http://www.everclearwindows.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" /> Garage Doors - Residential & Commercial - replacement of garage door locks http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1276008276/0#0 Everclear Windows And Doors Forum/Garage Doors - Residential & Commercial http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1276008276/0#0 can I replace the old style garage door t-handle with cylinder lock below, with a new t-handle with lock inset into handle.  The piece is a locking t-handle    #503 425   If so, how?

Windows & Doors - HOW TO PICK THE BEST WINDOW http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1240612731/1#1 Everclear Windows And Doors Forum/Windows & Doors http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1240612731/1#1 I really like this blog. You have illustrated all of the main factors that are important to consider when purchasing windows. Modern day developments allow you, the customer, to decide exactly what you want to get out of your windows, whether it be style, energy efficiency and so forth. <a href="http://www.sashwindow.com" target="_blank">Sash Windows</a> Windows & Doors - Inflector information http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1266621435/0#0 Everclear Windows And Doors Forum/Windows & Doors http://www.everclearwindows.com/cgi-bin/Everclear-Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1266621435/0#0 Temperature Disparity-The Message And A Solution        Dennis Roberts, President, Energy Efficiency Done Right Temperature disparity as it relates to buildings and homes is simply noticeable temperature variations in different parts of the structure. Building managers and owners are very aware of the complexities of keeping tenants on different floors and in different parts of the building pleased in a variety of differently oriented, sized, and positioned spaces in changing weather conditions. This is a huge problem affecting tens of millions of people and undoubtedly impacting productivity. A great illustration of this situation and its effects can be found in the January 2010 issue of Buildings Magazine in the article: The Thermal Comfort Zone by John Gregerson. In this article, Mr. Gregerson referenced a survey and this was a stunning finding- A survey of GSA buildings found that 60 percent of occupants are unsatisfied with the temperature in their work areas. Source: Energy Savings and Performance Gains in GSA Buildings. To put some perspective to this, the GSA employs approximately 14,000 people and is the largest commercial-style real estate organization in America managing more than 335 million square of space in buildings which provides workspace for 1.1 million Federal employees! Without doubt this is occurring countless times in millions of other buildings all over the world. Sadly in many buildings satisfying the majority of the occupants is impossible now due to the buildings size, design, location, orientation, or HVAC system. A perceptive quote from The Thermal Comfort Zone was - "Owners are also all too familiar with costs of another kind -- productivity declines resulting from conditions that are less than just right. "Study after study shows that a building owner's greatest expense isn't equipment or operating costs, but losses in occupant productivity," says Simon Turner, president of Fairfax, VA-based Healthy Buildings International. The most frequent occupant complaint? "It's too hot or too cold," Turner says. So what we are seeing is a very serious problem with a significant impact. An important message is that this widespread problem is the result of inefficient and poorly designed buildings and homes. In many, if not most of these buildings with unsatisfied workers/residents, there are complaints of their space being too hot while at the same time in the same buildings others are complaining of being too cold. It is the building manager's never ending nightmare, to please one person means added discomfort to another! The not very well kept secret root problem to most of these issues is the windows. In the summer the workers in the offices with a lot of glass are too hot if the interior offices are comfortable, while in the winter conditions are reversed. Orientation of the offices adds to the complexities of obtaining occupant comfort. Windows are also responsible for issues that create added discomfort like convection loops and infiltration. The simple reality is that single pane or plate glass will losses or gain twenty times more heat per square foot that an adjoining wall, while a double glazed window losses or gains ten times more per square foot. So in effect, building managers are trying to satisfy the comfort requirement of occupants in well insulated works spaces and others in poorly insulated spaces. A practical solution to this problem is also an energy efficient solution. As opposed to window replacement, window insulation is now an easy but very effective fix. Window insulators are installed inside the existing windows to improve insulation, reduce infiltration, reduce solar and radiant heat gain, restrict thermal heat gain or loss, and even enhance solar heat gain when it would be desirable. Whether you call it temperature disparity or creating a thermal comfort zone, many existing buildings cannot keep most of their occupants comfortable most of the time. Window insulators are a good solution that will make certain we have more productive workers and at the same time make the building more efficient. That is a change everyone can appreciate.
