If you have an electric garage door, you may not need a lock. The electric opener can act like a lock and keep people out. But if your electric opener is old, check to see if the door can be lifted from the outside. If you do not have an electric opener, it is important to get a lock. Sometimes kids or family members might accidentally put on a lock and then when someone tries to open the door with the electric opener it will break.

An insulated garage door might be the perfect choice, if you're looking to make your home quieter, warmer and a little more energy-efficient. Insulated doors can prevent cold air from entering your garage and therefore reduce the temperature differences in your home during the winter months. An insulated garage door also cuts down on outside noise, making it easy to entertain guests or just relax in a peaceful environment. On top of that, an insulated door tends to be more durable and requires less maintenance than traditional doors, saving you money over time on electric bills as well as repair costs. With all these benefits combined, investing in an insulated garage door is an excellent decision for any homeowner.

Making the decision between a steel or wood garage door can be a difficult one. Steel doors are very durable and weather-resistant, so they will last longer than wood. You won’t need to paint or stain them as much as wood, but it will still require regular maintenance and occasional repair. Steel is also more affordable than wood, although many homeowners find the look of real wood classic and timeless. Wood can be easily customized to fit any style, but with that comes the risk of more significant maintenance and repair costs over time. Ultimately, you should decide what make sense for your budget in terms of cost and maintenance time while considering which material best suits your style preferences.

For those living in Florida, a wind load door is often recommended if you are dealing with high-strength winds. A wind load rated door has the necessary design elements and construction materials to mitigate damage by powerful storms. It also helps keep your home more secure, as it will deflect flying debris during a hurricane or thunderstorm. The sturdiness of the door can also be tested with a garage door pressure gauge. By choosing a wind load door, you will add an extra layer of security to your home that is important during Florida's stormy season.

Knowing if your door is properly balanced can be a tricky job. The best way to assess balance is the door should remain in place without additional force being applied as well as opening and closing smoothly without making any noise. You can do this by opening your door up to chest high and seeing if it stays in place.

If it does not, than its not balanced. Balance can be impacted by several factors, most often the springs are the main factor. First, check the hinges while someone else opens and closes the door. If the hinges are loose and don't stay in place and/or if you have rattling or scraping sounds as it moves back and forth, then this could be a factor.

Adjust the screws on each hinge or try installing new ones altogether. If screws are missing, add them. Even if hinges seem tight, its okay to loosen the screws holding them and retighten allowing the hinge to readjust. The most common issue causing an imbalanced door is the spring(s). Springs wear over time and changing seasons (cold to hot weather) can cause a spring to require adjustments.

Due to safety concerns we highly recommend you hire someone trained in removing, replacing or adjusting springs. Its very easy to suffer an injury, sometimes severe, when working with springs.

If you are not sure if your garage door can be repaired with just a service call or if it needs to be replaced, the good news is that there are easy ways for you to determine the best course of action. Start by taking a look at its age; if it’s been in use for decades, then chances are that replacement will be necessary over repair. Similarly, if excessive amounts of rust or major physical damage is found on the door or its surrounding parts, incline towards replacing it rather than trying to make repairs. However, smaller issues with function can usually be addressed with a service call and may come at a lower cost – so make sure to check into that first before opting for a total replacement.
