10 Reasons you need a new garage door

If you’re fed up with struggling to get your car in our out of your garage, are fed up with being cold whilst your band rehearses, or are fed up with having to get up every time your children want to get their bikes out, then perhaps you need a new garage door.

Here are just 10 reasons you might need a new garage door.

1. Hard to operate

The most popular reason for needing a new garage door is that your current garage door is hard to operate.

Perhaps it’s old or hasn’t been maintained as well as other areas of your home. It might be squeaking or sticking, or not stay on its tracks properly and require a lot of new parts. Even after a service it still might not work as well as it did when it was new.

It may be more cost effective to replace it with a new garage door that will last for many years instead.

2. Look and style

You might not like the look and style of your current garage door. What was fashionable many years ago might look dated and out of place now.

Alternatively, your lifestyle or garage use might mean that you need a different garage door style.

3. Security

Perhaps you keep your cars, expensive sporting or camping gear, your children’s toys and other things in your garage. It may be that your garage is now home to more of your valuable items and is not as secure as it needs to be.

If you’re worried about garage security then perhaps you want a better garage door; a new garage door is likely to be stronger and have better locks than your existing one.

4. Efficiency

Maybe you’re spending more time in your garage and so want to be warm all year round.

Whether you’re watching the latest Hollywood blockbusters with friends and family, making things out of wood, crafting, or just carrying out simple car maintenance, you’ll benefit from some of the high tech advances in garage doors.

These include better insulation and more energy saving features, so heating your garage will cost you less.

There are plenty of options, materials and colors available, so you don’t have to settle for your boring existing door any longer.

After years of neglect, or having a ball kicked against it, or perhaps due to a storm or other bad weather your garage door might be damaged, meaning that the most cost effective option is to get a new garage door.

7. New home

If you’ve moved house, then perhaps your new garage door isn’t to your taste.

You might currently have a folding garage door that means you have to get out of your car to open it. Perhaps you want a sliding door so that your children can get their toys and bikes out easily.

You might want a new garage door that it’s easier to open than you existing door.

You might have a medical condition or a disability, or you simply don’t want to wrestle with a stubborn garage door every time you come home from work.

If you’ve changed what you use your garage for, then perhaps you now need a new garage door that is more secure, easier to use or keeps your garage warmer.

Whether your garage is now a playroom for your children, a home cinema or a guest bedroom, you’ll want your garage to be used all year round.

10. Children using the garage more

If your children are using the garage more, then they’’ll need to be able to open and close the garage door safely and securely.
