Garage Door Safety

By

The safety and health of our customers are Metro’s biggest priority. We want to be sure that your garage door is working correctly to avoid possible injury. Garage doors are complex and heavy machines that require attention to detail to ensure you and your family are safe with everyday use. Metro Garage Door is your garage door safety expert in Douglasville, GA, trust our experience.

Garage Door Safety Features that We Offer

Modern garage doors are manufactured to provide extra safety benefits for everyday use.

  • Pinch-resistant garage doors are designed to push small objects, like fingers, out of the way to prevent closing on them. If you have kids, this feature may appeal to you because kids are less likely to understand how your garage door works. No parent wants to deal with smooshed fingers!
  • Another safety feature is tamper-resistant bottom brackets on the door. These brackets prevent someone from altering the cable tension. They also allow easier access to repairing rollers without tampering with springs.
  • The springs of a garage door are the most important part and become very dangerous if not working properly. The springs hold all of the tension and weight of the garage door as it rolls up and down. The TorqueMaster counterbalance system encases the springs to prevent damage to the springs. If the springs break, it will occur in the tubes keeping any bystanders safe. In the event of a broken spring, the counterbalance system holds the door in place to prevent falling onto an object or person unexpectedly.

3 Positive ROI Benefits Of Installing A New Garage Door

By

Garage Door Replacement

When making home improvements, it is important to consider the long-term implications of your decisions and prioritize those projects that will offer the greatest returns when the time comes to sell your home. According to a 2017 study conducted by Remodeling Magazine, upgrading your garage door is one of the home improvements that will offer the best ROI or return on investment. To learn more about what makes a new garage door such a sound investment, read on. This article will list three undeniably positive aspects of installing a new garage door.

Enhanced Curb Appeal – Installing a New Garage Door

Curb appeal is one of the most important qualities a home can have when the time comes to sell. Prospective buyers will begin forming impressions–either positive or negative–the second they pull up to your home. A dented, flaking or otherwise rundown garage door will immediately contribute to a negative impression, lessening the likelihood of making a sale. An attractive new garage door, on the other hand, will help to predispose a buyer in your direction. 

Increased Security

 It is important to also consider the impact a garage door upgrade will have on your home’s overall security profile. No matter how well protected the rest of your home, a flimsy old garage door represents a potential security nightmare. In this regard, upgrading to a heartier door–particularly one made of steel–will pay dividends where enhanced security is concerned. 

Better Functionality 

Many older homes still have garage doors that have to be opened and closed manually. While you may have grown used to this chore, potential buyers may well be turned off by it. Upgrading to a garage door with an automatic opener will attract buyers who intend to store their car in the garage on a daily basis–and who don’t want to have to go through the hassle of opening and closing the door themselves.

Four Factors To Consider When Shopping For A New Garage Door

By

Douglasville Garage Door Experts

Deciding on a new garage door isn’t as simple as it might appear at first glance–even if you have already narrowed down your search to CHI doors. There are still many factors to take into account before settling on your new model. If you would like to learn more about finding the best possible garage door for your home, read on. Our team is your local garage door experts. This article will discuss four things you must be sure to consider. 

Look 

Start by thinking about the overall aesthetics of the door. Carriage house style doors are an increasingly popular throwback look. Raised and recessed panels also appeal to many people. Decide whether or not you want the garage door to contain windows–and, if so, where. Talking with a garage door sales person is a great way to familiarize yourself with the various options available today. 

Material 

Now you need to consider the material out of which your door will be constructed. Steel offers the greatest amount of security–as well as the least amount of maintenance–yet costs more than other materials. Wood, aluminum, and fiberglass are all great options for those operating on more of a budget. 

Construction Quality 

Regardless of the material you select, it will be possible to upgrade the construction quality of your door regarding such categories as: 

  • energy efficiency (example: insulation)
  • noise reduction
  • overall structural stability 

It is worth spending more on such features for those who use their garage not only as a place to store their car, but also as a workshop, tool room, or hangout area. 

Finishing Touches 

Now that you’ve settled on the nuts and bolts of your new garage door, it’s time to have a little fun custom-tailoring the details. Decide on what color you’d like the door painted. Also think about augmenting your door’s appearance with customized hardware and other decorative flourishes.

Full view glass garage doors

For those that are currently building or want to upgrade their current door, CHI has developed a cutting-edge, mod glass garage door. The clean style of 3295 Series full-view garage doors with glass from C.H.I. complements modern, industrial-build houses. The non-traditional look of the aluminum and glass offers smooth lines, giving it a commercial charm. However, its simplicity also presents nicely and can add value to more traditional homes.

Some of the features of these doors listed in C.H.I.’s flyer are:

  • Glass comes in either 1/8″ non-insulated or 7/16″ insulated for better energy efficiency. The 1/8″ glass is offered as plain, tinted or frosted to control light and protect privacy.
  • Glass replacement is effortless with removable inside retainers.
  • Exceptional weather seal is provided by tongue-and-groove section joints.
  • The aluminum panels offer 3/8″ insulation.

 Standard colors for the aluminum are clear anodized or white, though there are many colors available for custom order using Tiger Drylac Powder Coatings. Solid construction with hidden through-bolt assembly, 4″ top and bottom rail and 2″ intermediate rails, and sleek 2″ aluminum stiles offer the sturdy strength needed for everyday use. Additionally, massive 14 gauge hinges and 10 ball rollers confirm powerful, steady service. The door features an optional inside, side lock and optional header and jamb seals for further weather-proofing.
