Garage Door Co Repair Pros has received the following information regarding Amarr brown garage doors:

Transition of Color Brown to Dark Brown or Commercial Brown

Memo 16-12

March 29, 2012

Garage Door Co Repair Pros has received the following information from Amarr regarding Jeld-Wen garage door warranty claims. As we posted last year Jeld-Wen STOPS production of ALL garage doors

Like many Clopay dealers we were very disappointed years ago when Clopay switched from oil tempered to galvanized torsion springs for residential doors. They would not allow the doors to be ordered with the oil tempered springs even though they were available on a special order basis since the commercial doors were still be offered with the oil tempered springs. Garage Door Co Repair Pros has been supplying all doors and replacement springs as oil tempered for years and was requiring Clopay to remove the galvanized spring cost from every door order.

The new Liftmaster myQ opener models 8550 & 8360 and the Chamberlain and Craftsman DIY models maybe controlled by a smartphone. This feature is part of the internet gateway option (requires an annual subscription of $14.95/year). The first year of the subscription is included with the purchase. Today an update was available for Android devices. This update cannot be installed since it has an invalid code signing signature per Google.

We have received notice dated 03/01/2012 that Chamberlain the manufacturer of Liftmaster garage door openers and and private labeled openers sold by Sears under the Craftsman name as well as Chamberlain DIY systems has announced they are raising replacement parts pricing approx 5% effective 04/01/2012. Garage Door Co Repair Pros is still making pricing adjustments but expects to pass along most of this price increase.
