Review of MARTIN DOOR MANUFACTURING

So there's Martin Door and there's Martin Factory ...

So there's Martin Door and there's Martin Factory Sales and Service.

Martin Door has been building quality garage doors since 1936. They relocated to Utah decades ago and sell only through a dealer network. They've got lots of competition but they fill a niche for discerning homeowners who care about quality.

Martin Factory Sales and Service is a department within Martin Door. They sell, install and service their doors manufactured on 2828 South 900 West, primarily along the Wasatch Front and Back. They've got a great showroom, awesome web site and helpful staff that will get you the garage door of your dreams.

I just had them install a Cornerstone model with Steel Pinnacle insulated windows. I was replacing a 30-year old Martin Door that came with the house I purchased in 2011 but the bottom section had a bunch of dents from the previous homeowner's son who had used the inside of the garage as a skateboard park.

This door screams quality and craftsmanship! Safety features abound. What really sets the door apart is all the little things a typical homeowner wouldn't give much thought to. The gauge of the steel is considerably thicker than their competitors. The track and mounting brackets are far superior than their competitors. The nylon rollers make for smooth operation. The springs that balance the door are rated for 30,000 cycles. I will likely be dead before they need to be replaced.

The installers each have been with Martin for 30+ years. Seriously, how could you possibly go wrong with these guys?

There was a time you could buy a Martin Door through Home Depot or Lowes. Those days are gone because of Clopay nudging out their competition. Ask an old timer at either department store which brand of door was better. There really isn't any comparison.
