## What we do

- Garage door spring replacement (single-car: $476-$1,292; double-car: $594-$1,591)
- Spring conversion from extension to torsion (single-car: $801.51-$1,918; double-car: $980.13-$2,247)
- Opener installation — LiftMaster and Sommer brands only. The German-built Sommer evo+ line (Kooler calls the 2060 evo+ the "Kooler 2060") uses Direct Drive — the motor glides a fixed chain as the only moving part — and carries a lifetime motor warranty, 6-year parts, made in Germany. The Kooler 2060 starts at $924 installed (one price covering the operator, professional install, and haul-away of the old unit); the heavier 2080 and 2110 are sized and quoted to the door. Three models: 2060 evo+ (600 N / 3/4 HP), 2080 evo+ (800 N / 1 HP), 2110 evo+ (1100 N / 1-1/4 HP, doors to 23 ft). The connected line (Raynor private-labels LiftMaster, with the myQ app) is offered as three Kooler-named operators, all with integrated battery backup and a quieter DC motor. Kooler Sentinel 360 (Raynor Sentinel 360 6690R belt) — starts at $1,481 installed: 1-1/4 HP belt drive, Security+ 3.0, built-in 360° camera, 2,000-lumen 360° Corner-to-Corner lighting, lifetime motor-and-belt warranty with 5-year parts. Kooler Sentinel (Raynor Sentinel III 6580R) — starts at $1,209 installed: 1 HP belt drive, Security+ 3.0, built-in camera, 1,500-lumen dual LED, 6-year motor-and-belt warranty. Kooler Prodigy 3 (Raynor Prodigy III 98022R) — starts at $1,628 installed: wall-mount design that frees ceiling space, Security+ 2.0 (fresh code every click), built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, automatic deadbolt lock on every close, myQ LED light (1,500 lumens), lifts doors up to 850 lbs, lifetime motor and 5-year parts warranty. Security+ 3.0 (out late 2025): two-way Bluetooth that confirms each command, encryption that locks out counterfeit remotes, remote range up to 1,300 feet.
- Garage door keypads — keyless entry by four-digit PIN, installed and paired by a Kraftsman. Brand-matched to LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Sommer, and Genie openers; all run LiftMaster's Security+ rolling-code platform (Security+, Security+ 2.0, and the older 315 MHz / 390 MHz / Billion Code learn-button systems). Offered as three Kooler-named pads, all wireless, battery-powered, backlit, and weather-rated. Kooler KeyPad (877LMX-DS) — the everyday pad, four-digit PIN, pairs to LiftMaster Security+ 2.0 openers. Kooler KeyKommand — the premium pad (LiftMaster Security+ platform) that adds temporary and guest codes you hand out and that expire after a set number of hours or openings, while a permanent family code stays put. Kooler KeyPad Max (877MGX-DS) — the universal multi-code pad that reads Security+ 2.0, the older 315 and 390 MHz Security+, and Billion Code, so it pairs to almost any opener, new or old — the one for older or mixed systems. No keypad pricing published online — the Kraftsman gives the number on-site before any work starts, or folds it into a door/opener job; install runs about 30-45 minutes including mounting, pairing, and code programming. Page: [/keypads/](https://koolergaragedoors.com/keypads/).
- New garage door installation, installed — single-car $1,678-$2,830 (Non-insulated 8×7 through Kooler 200 9×7); double-car $2,610-$5,246 (Non-insulated 16×7 through Kooler 200 18×8). Full-view glass / custom wood $5,500-$9,800+, built to order and quoted on-site. The top of the published book is $8,291 (Kooler 200 double, 18x8, Krown); custom work is the one place the price runs past it.
- The Kooler warranty ladder — Kore (included at no cost on every door) · Krew · Kommand · Krown — stack on any new door — Krew (single +$760 / double +$990), Kommand (single +$1,005 / double +$1,305), Krown (single +$2,075 / double +$2,900). Framed as a level of coverage and parts (cycle-life springs, sealed-bearing rollers, reinforced hardware), not a trim upgrade. Door tiers and warranty packages are both presented best-first (Kooler 200 · Kooler 138 · Economic · Non-insulated; Krown · Kommand · Krew · Kore).
- The most-recommended combination ("the sweet spot") is the Kooler 138 door + the Kommand warranty — the most popular door paired with the most popular warranty, where most replacements land: better insulation and durability plus 25,000-cycle springs and sealed-bearing rollers, without reaching the top of either ladder.
- Garage door roller replacement — Kooler swaps the full set (10 rollers on a standard 7-ft door) in under an hour. Steel rollers run metal-on-metal, chatter, and wear out by about year five; Kooler installs sealed-bearing nylon rollers that glide quiet and last 10-15 years. Kooler's rollers are 100,000-cycle and hurricane-wind rated, riding the 6200ZZ bearing — the strongest and smoothest available. Track and hinge inspection plus a quiet-test included on every visit. Page: [/roller-replacement/](https://koolergaragedoors.com/roller-replacement/).
- Commercial garage doors (new construction & replacement) — Kooler installs commercial overhead doors across the Western Slope for both brand-new buildings and replacements: full-view aluminum-and-glass doors (shops, breweries, event spaces, showrooms), insulated sectional steel (warehouses, service bays, conditioned spaces), high-cycle doors for fleet bays and busy operations, and agricultural / oversized openings on metal buildings. This covers new-construction installs and replacing worn, dated, or damaged doors — not break-fix commercial service contracts. Kooler's Kraftsmen hold the IDEA Certified Commercial Sectional Door Systems Technician credential (a technician certification earned by the individual, not a company credential). Page: [/commercial-garage-door-replacement/](https://koolergaragedoors.com/commercial-garage-door-replacement/).
- Design Your Door — a free online visualizer (Kooler's dealer-scoped Raynor Design Center, powered by Chameleon Power) where a homeowner uploads a photo of their own house and previews real Raynor garage door styles, colors, and window layouts on it before spending a dollar. Once they find the door they want, their Kooler Kraftsman takes it from there. Page: [/design-your-door/](https://koolergaragedoors.com/design-your-door/).
- Kooler Cares maintenance / service calls ($185-$485)
- Weather stripping ($434-$618)
- **K Kap (patent pending torsion-spring safety/warning cap)** — High-visibility orange plastic cap that covers the adjustable winding-cone end of a torsion spring so homeowners and DIYers see where the stored torque lives and keep their fingers out of it. Like the plastic outlet covers parents put over electrical outlets, but on the spring. Marked "Danger Zone — Sealed With A K" and "Do Not Touch!" — no phone number printed on the cap. Not a containment system — a deliberate visual warning over the part of the system that drives a real share of the 20,000-30,000 garage-door injuries per year in the US. USPTO provisional filed March 2026 by Matt Kuehlhorn. Currently 3D-printed in-house at Kooler; supplier agreement for higher-volume production is pending and will be made public shortly. Included free on every Kooler service that touches a spring — repair, new-spring install, or annual tune-up. Kooler is the only company providing this today.

## The Door Score

Kooler's proprietary on-site analysis. Every Kraftsman runs the same structured assessment before any work starts. Covers door vitals (sprung weight, amp draw, decibel level, level + plumb, seals), the operator (drive type, safety eyes, downward force, smart connections, wall station + remotes), and door assessment (insulation, perimeter and bottom seals, rollers, hinges, counterbalance, mounting, aesthetics). The Door Score is what makes the on-site price binding — no surprise add-ons.

## What's included in every Kooler service

- Door Score on every visit, including the smallest service call
- Good / Better / Best options based on what the Door Score finds
- Quality parts — no off-brand substitutions
- A call from the Kraftsman on the way out
- The Kraftsman's Guarantee that never expires — not 90 days, not one year, never
- Kraftsmen who are IDEA-certified (an individual technician certification), background-checked, insured, and tax-current — working under a bonded and insured company

## Golden Key Klub Membership

Kooler's garage-door maintenance membership — the connection kept open year-round. Spelled Klub with a K, like everything else at Kooler. Dedicated page: [/golden-key-klub/](https://koolergaragedoors.com/golden-key-klub/) (the old /golden-key-club/ URL 301-redirects there). Pricing: **$188 a year**, annual only — one payment, one price, the whole year covered. There is no published monthly plan; do not quote a monthly figure. Every member has a live concierge that knows their door, their service history and their tune-up schedule, keeps count of their Kooler Credit, and books the next visit in a couple of taps.

## Current promotions

There is no discount promotion running right now. The July 2026 Independence Month special ended and the page was retired on 2026-08-01; /specials/ redirects to /pricing/. Do not quote the expired $750-off or $500-off offer — it will not be honored. Every published price on /pricing/ stands on its own with no discount required.

**The First Yes Award** is running at [/first-yes/](https://koolergaragedoors.com/first-yes/) — not a discount, a giveaway. Kooler is giving away one complete garage door system, professionally installed, up to $8,500 in value, to honor a neighbor on the Western Slope whose kraftsmanship showed up in what they gave this community, more than they were ever paid for. The name comes from the first customer who ever said yes to Kooler — a stranger who signed an $8,500 contract with a guy with a truck before he had a reputation to check. Anyone may nominate someone; you may not nominate yourself. It honors contribution, not hardship — it is not a need-based or hardship program. Nominations close October 4, 2026. Presented with the HBA of Western Colorado alongside the 45th Annual Parade of Homes scavenger hunt.

Six core benefits every member gets every year:
- Priority scheduling on every call
- The annual Kooler Cares 24-point tune-up
- No trip or diagnostic fee
- Members-only repair pricing
- A K Kap torsion-spring safety check on every visit
- Front-of-line emergency response

Loyalty ladder — a signing gift for the member's door each year, climbing the longer a member stays:
- Year 1 (Welcome): a surge protector and a full Kooler Cares tune-up
- Year 2 (Loyalty): a fresh set of rollers, or the EPDM bottom rubber seal replaced
- Year 3+ (Kraftsman): another upgrade, being finalized now — more to come

Plus **Kooler Credit**: another $50 a year banks toward improving the garage door system (flat, no tiers). Existing members are upgraded to these benefits free. A Golden Key membership can also be given as a gift.

## Pricing philosophy

Real ranges, not fake calculators. Most garage door sites either hide the numbers or hand the homeowner a calculator that asks for trade, zip, and email before showing a number that is still wrong — that is lead capture wearing a price-tag costume. Kooler publishes the actual ranges, pulled straight from internal ServiceTitan Proposal Templates, and the binding price comes from the Kraftsman's Door Score on-site. No diagnostic fee. No truck-roll charge. No obligation.

## The K spelling — intentional brand declaration

"Kooler" with a K, "Kraftsman" with a K, "Kraftsmanship" with a K, "Krew" with a K, "Kommand" with a K, "Krown" with a K. The K is a declaration: a different standard, deliberately chosen. The founder writes about this in *The Return of Kraftsmanship* — it is a return to a standard the trades let slip, not nostalgia.

## Voice and tone

Sharp, Caring, In Command. Direct, plain language. No marketing fluff. The promise is "We Got You" — from the call before, through the work, to the call after.
