How to make a garage door with his own hands - step by step instructions

If you decide to cook their own hands gates swing-type garage, first of all, you need to carefully prepare for the work ahead.

For work you need to stock up on:

• sheet metal thickness of 2-3 mm for the production of the gate;
• grinder;
• welding machine;
• metal profile;
• steel corners;
• Gate hinges;
• level;
• gon;
• tape.

The procedure works on the assembly gate

All operations for welding the gates are made in the following sequence:

make measurements of the opening given clearance below by 7 cm measurement accuracy will allow to calculate the exact amount of metal needed to manufacture.gate.It should be remembered that in addition to sheet metal, required profile pipes with wall thickness of 1.5-2 mm.If the gate width of 4 m, and a height of 2 m, it will take 22-23 m Profile 60 × 40 mm and 15-16 m Profile 40 × 20 mm.

To produce the mounting frame consisting of an outer and inner frame, cut the required size of the workpiece over the 65 × 65 mm.Produce cut sheets and tubes in accordance with the sizes.Preparations put on a horizontal surface, trying to place them in the same plane.

When assembling the frame to make sure that all angles are perfectly straight.The framework should be applied tubular profile 60 × 40 mm.Pre-welding grab all of these earlier components and fully folded gate on a flat surface in order to ensure correct assembly, to identify shortcomings and correct them.

make final welding.If the height of the gate is large, then they must be welded stiffeners.To the gate well fitting to the frame, it is necessary to ensure the evenness of the welding seams.

Attach trim to the gate of the garage.For this metal blade should be cut according to the size of the future leaves.Since the right wing must be overlapped on the left, the right envelope should be 2-3 cm wider left.To the items moved relative to one another, the sheets in the middle and at the corners by welding must grab the box.Upon completion of work, these points can be cut.

During welding hinges of the upper part must be attached to the sash and the bottom - in the frame.After completing all the work, you need to install locks and paint the gates.
