Tips

Planning garage door replacement? It's best to go through these tips first to get some new ideas

• Consider battery backup for your DC garage door motor

  This is an additional accessory which is connected to the opener motor. When the mains power goes out, the motor gets powered by the battery and you can operate the door automatically. If you opt for such an accessory, you should check how long the battery can last for in standby mode and how many cycles the door can make with it. The higher the numbers are the better.

• Choose good insulating quality for your overhead door

  If you’re using your garage as a workspace other than for parking your car, look for garage doors with higher R-value. You may also ask our professionals about weather sealing. The seals may be designed to keep the cold out. Insulation is important especially if you live in an extremely cold area, so you may consider wood instead of steel garage doors.

• Don't underestimate any problem

  Don't ever underestimate any garage door problem. They are all important enough to need immediate garage door repair. A missing bolt is almost equally serious with having misaligned garage door tracks. Every part has its own reason for being there so make sure issues are solved fast.

• Back up your system with a battery

  A back up battery is an excellent idea for every home. They will be useful during power outage. They can last for at least twenty four hours from the moment the power is out. Our experts suggest that you must make sure they're always charged.
