Look at places other than Lowes. I had my door installed by Overhead Door
Company and the were very competitive and,IMO, a better quality door. Some
of the better brands and styles are carried by the local dealers.
The only rolling doors I'm familiar with are rather industrial looking, but
then, I've probably not seen every door available either. They work, they
tend to be noisy.

See if there is a Wayne Dalton store near you and check their price on the
door and installation. I bet it is cheaper then Lowes by a lot. Excellent
doors in any case and check out their IDrive openers that go right above the
door.

Wayne Dalton are the doors I saw at Lowes. I'm thinking now about biting the
bullet and paying a garage door company to do the doors. The guy I talked
to, after I originally wrote this message, was saying that they should be
"framed in" using 4x4s and to make sure the opening was cut correctly. I'm
thinking now I'll just have a door company do it. I don't want to screw
anything up.
Thanks,

Definitely get a price from a Wayne Dalton store if there is one near you.

====================================
Yes I have 3 "roll up" doors on my one garage.... I purchased them
because I restore cars (as a hobby) and have a couple of lifts ...with
the roll up doors I do not have any problems with opening or closing
the doors when a car is UP on a lift...
Gosh the doors have been in use for a good 10 years....absolutely no
problem with them... They are not insulated however....which is
really not a problem for me since that garage is not kept heated...
In Short I really like them... and someday plan on replacing the 2
regular sectional doors in my orther garage with roll up doors...
Lots of luck....
