What Upgrades Do We Offer?
Once you understand your current situation, it’s time to think about what type of upgrade to invest in for your garage door. New garage doors tend to offer more energy efficiency than older models and some will improve the insulation value of your home significantly if your garage is attached. Garage doors can also be upgraded to include windows, doors and remote operations, which can make your life much easier. Garage door upgrades may also involve new hardware, such as hinges and locks, as well as automated systems for improved security.
Functional upgrades include installing new openers, which can provide smoother operation and reduced noise. Belt-drive systems are particularly quiet compared to chain drives. Consider openers with battery backups to ensure access during power outages. For increased convenience, smart garage door openers allow remote operation via smartphone apps and can integrate with home automation systems.
Security is a crucial aspect of garage door upgrades. New hardware, including robust locks and tamper-resistant brackets, can improve safety. Smart systems often include features like rolling code technology to prevent hacking and alerts for unexpected access attempts. Some systems allow you to monitor your garage door’s status remotely and grant temporary access to visitors or service providers.
