Wayne Dalton makes residential and commercial garage doors in steel, fiberglass and aluminum, sold through dealers. 1A Garage Doors installs and services Wayne Dalton doors in the Sacramento area. This guide covers the residential lineup, what to check before buying, and maintenance.
Door materials
- Classic Steel: traditional steel designs with construction and insulation options that vary by model.
- Designer Fiberglass: a wood-look finish without real wood's upkeep.
- Contemporary Aluminum and Glass: full-view designs; compare glazing, privacy and total weight.
- Wood and vinyl: additional residential material options with their own style and care requirements.
Use Wayne Dalton's current residential catalog to compare actual models and their insulation, finish and window options.
What to check before you buy
- Climate: insulated materials matter more if the garage is attached to living space.
- Fit: measure your opening accurately before ordering.
- Security: your garage door is an entry point to your home, so check the locking hardware.
- Upkeep: compare the finish-care instructions for the exact product rather than assuming all steel or fiberglass doors have the same maintenance.
Maintenance
Inspect for visible wear or damage and follow the model's cleaning and lubrication instructions. Spring adjustments and replacements should go to a professional; torsion springs are under high tension and are not a homeowner task.
Wayne Dalton also makes commercial doors, and offers wind load-rated residential doors for areas that see severe wind. For the safety features built into Wayne Dalton's overhead doors, including its spring-in-a-tube TorqueMaster system, see our Wayne Dalton overhead doors guide.
