Thanx for your reply.

It took perseverance, but I found the kit & almost finished installing.

I unsuccessfully checked Home Depot as well as Lowes on the Internet using the KU # 481-957.

I phoned the mfg: Premier Industries/Insulfoam in Chino.
800-4291 Hours 7a-5p
They verified their product distributed to Home Depot.
My nearest Home Depot was unaware of the product.
It was necessary to talk to Special Services manager & insist they either had it or could order it.
Needed to provide him with mfg telephone number.
He phoned the mfg, obtained product numbers
Which BTW was 226871
He then ascertained the product was in stock @ 3 nearby stores: Norwalk, Industry, & Whittier.
He phoned the Whittier store & had them hold at the Special Service desk for me.

On checking the package, I ascertained one package consisted of 8 panels.
For my double garage, I needed 2 packages.
Cost $40 each pkg.

Each panel is 48" x 20 ¼ " Styrofoam.
For my doors it was necessary to cut the 8 center panels to 44 ¼'' length with utility knife or razor blade.
The left over piece needed to be cut to 2 5/8" which is then slid behind the vertical rail.

Next the 20 ¼ x 44 ¼ panel is be pressed into place.

The 8 end panels needed to be slightly longer then the 8 center panels, plus there were 2 vertical rails to press the end behind.

I'm female, retired police detective 74yrs old. So I guess anyone can do it.

Hopefully I can now store things in the garage without them cooking, or even shift the ironing board from the spare bedroom. Altho I rarely iron more than to set a crease in slacks. With only one car, half the garage is carpeted & used as laundry - service room.
