A View Over
the Hempstead Plains
Plainview is a hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, and its history goes back to 1648, when a Welsh settler named Robert Williams bought land here. The name comes from the view its hills once gave over the open Hempstead Plains; one of those hills, Manetto Hill, gave the area its earlier name and is remembered today in Manetto Hill Road and the Manetto Hills preserve.
After World War II, farmland turned into one of the busiest suburbs on the island, crossed today by the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway and the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway. Plainview shares its school district, library, fire department and water district with neighboring Old Bethpage, home of the Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a 19th-century village museum.
For garage doors, Plainview means bigger doors. Many homes here are split-levels, high ranches and colonials with two-car garages, so 16-foot doors on a pair of torsion springs are the norm. Those doors are heavy, especially once they are insulated, and when a spring breaks or the balance drifts, the opener feels it first.

Springs Sized for
Two-Car Doors
A 16-foot door usually runs on two torsion springs that carry well over a hundred pounds between them. We weigh the door, fit springs to that weight, replace both at once and set the balance so the opener only has to guide the door. When the door is used many times a day, high-cycle springs are worth the small difference.

The Right Opener
for a Heavy Door
An opener should never be the thing lifting a heavy door. Once the springs are balanced, a 1/2 HP-class belt drive handles most two-car doors quietly; for rooms over the garage, a wall-mount opener takes the motor off the ceiling. Openers carry our 3-year warranty plus the manufacturer's.

Two-Car Doors for
Plainview Homes
Insulated steel double doors are the most popular choice on Plainview split-levels and colonials, often in a carriage-house design with window inserts. When you go from an uninsulated door to an insulated one, the springs have to be re-sized for the new weight; that is part of every installation we do.
Single steel doors start at $1,550 and double doors at $2,500, and NEWDOOR250 takes $250 off.
