Knowing which brand door you have will make choosing parts a lot easier!

There are some common patterns that manufacturers and installers use to label their doors. Some include safety information, some include installation dates & contact information for the company that completed the installation.

See our guide below for some typical examples and find the products you’ll need for your garage door.

How Do I Find the Manufacturer of My Garage Door?

Knowing your garage door model and brand is important for a few reasons, but most garage doors don’t have a logo or brand name right on the front. Once you know where to look, finding your garage door manufacturer and model number can help you:

• Order parts.
• Look up the owners manual to diagnose any problems you notice.
• Determine the manufacturer to establish what maintenance the maker of your garage door recommends.
• Find a service professional who has experience with your specific garage door.
• Determine how old your garage door is and whether it’s time for an upgrade.
• Track down information about your warranty.
• Find out the measurements for weatherstripping.

How Can I Tell What Brand My Garage Door Is?

There are a few places you’ll want to look if you’re unsure what garage door model you have:

• The paperwork that came with your installation: If you had your garage door installed professionally, your overhead door model number location is as close as the paperwork you’ve signed. Your garage door type and model number should be listed.
• The side edge of the panels between the track and the rollers: You may notice stickers containing manufacturer names, size, model number, safety information and other data on the side frames of your garage door.
• The garage door itself: Some manufacturers or installers place stickers on the interior side of the garage door with information. For example, Clopay® garage doors often have model number stickers located on the lower left-hand or right-hand corner.
• The hardware: Hinges and other hardware are sometimes stamped with the name of the garage door manufacturer. The hardware won’t give you the door’s model or serial number, but it may be enough to get you started in finding the parts you need for repairs.
