High Lift Track Conversion
Northway Garage Doors installs high lift track conversions for homeowners throughout Saratoga County and the Capital Region.
Planning a car lift, golf simulator, home gym, or extra storage in your garage? A standard garage door track may not give you the overhead clearance you need. Phil installs high lift track systems that run the door higher up the wall before curving horizontal, freeing up ceiling space for whatever you have planned. This conversion is popular among homeowners upgrading their garage for serious projects — not just parking a car.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high lift track conversion?
It’s a modified garage door track system that raises the door further up the wall before it turns horizontal, creating extra overhead clearance compared to a standard track.
Why would I need a high lift conversion?
Common reasons include installing a car lift, golf simulator, gym equipment, or overhead storage — anything that needs more clearance than a standard garage ceiling allows.
Does my existing garage door work with a high lift conversion?
In many cases, yes — Phil can evaluate your current door and opener to determine what’s needed for the conversion.
Do I need a special opener for a high lift system?
A side-mount opener is usually required for high lift conversions, since in most situations a standard ceiling-mounted opener won't work. Phil can recommend the right setup for your situation.
How much overhead clearance does a high lift conversion add?
This varies by garage and door size — Phil can measure your space and tell you exactly what’s possible during a free estimate.
