  • Routine Inspections – As a home or business owner, you need to examine your garage door every month. Keep a lookout for issues with the cables, springs, track, rollers, etc. If any of these parts look like they might be failing, it’s essential that they are replaced right away.
  • Keep Your Door Clean – We also recommend you clean your door several times each year. This will remove grime, debris, and dirt from your door and help it last longer.

Garage Door Weight – How to Tell How Much A Garage Door Weighs

There comes a time when home and business owners may need to know the weight of a garage door. Some customers may be looking to replace the torsion springs on their current system. Other customers might be on the market for a replacement door that will work with their current opening mechanism. No matter what your reasons are, having an accurate weight estimate is essential. Your friends at Metro Garage Doors are here to help you understand what impacts the weight of garage doors.

Why Does Weight Matter?

If you are replacing your garage door’s torsion springs, knowing the door’s weight is crucial to choosing the right springs. Different torsion springs can handle different amounts of weight. Having torsion springs that can handle a lot more than your garage door weighs is fine. However, installing torsion springs that can’t handle your door’s weight is dangerous.

Another instance where knowing a door’s weight is important is if you’re shopping for a new door. If you want to use your current automatic opener, you need to ensure your opener can handle the new door.

What Impacts a the Weight of a Garage Door?

Several things can impact a garage door’s weight. Some of these factors include:

  • Doorway size – the larger the doorway, the heavier the door.
  • Materials used – Glass garage doors are much heavier than wood doors.
  • Insulation – Insulation can add an extra 200 pounds to your door.
  • Doorway thickness – the thicker the doorway, the heavier the door.
  • Type of door – The type and design of the door will also impact its weight.
  • Amount of steel used – the more steel it has, the heavier it will be.

Benefits of Sliding Garage Doors

By

Sliding Garage Doors – An Excellent Choice for Your Home or Business

All home and business owners have many things to consider when they start shopping for their next garage door. Garage doors can greatly improve your property’s curb appeal. In addition, they can add additional functionality to your property and they can make your property more accessible. Considering sliding garage doors for your home? We can help.

When you start shopping for a new garage door, we suggest you seriously consider installing a sliding garage door. Although these doors aren’t the least expensive option out there, they offer a number of distinct benefits.

Leverage the Full-Height of Your Doorway

A sliding garage door will always open to their full height, no matter how wide you open them. This means you’ll never have to duck under a partially cracked garage door to access the things you need. Whether you’re backing out a motorcycle or simply grabbing a tool, accessing your garage will be infinitely easier.

Another height-benefit of a sliding garage door is the overhead space it’ll open up. Since your garage door’s motor, track and door will be placed horizontally, you’ll have more space in your garage.

Reduced Energy Costs

Sliding garage doors can also save you money. Every time a garage door is opened, heat and air-conditioned air escapes. If you partially open your garage door, less air will escape. This means your HVAC won’t have to work hard to compensate for the lost warm/cool air.

Less Noise

Sliding garage doors make much less noise than their traditional counterparts. Since the garage door opens horizontally, the motor doesn’t have to work as hard to open the doors. Any rooms or offices in the vicinity of the garage door will be much quieter.

Easy to Repair

Sliding garage doors are also easier to maintain. Hardware, panels and tracks are easier to repair than traditional garage door components.

Easy to Use

Finally, sliding garage doors are easy to use. You can easily open them manually, use a power-operated model, or both. This means that if you ever lose power at your home or business, you’ll still be able to access your garage.

Call the Experts at Metro Garage Door

If you’re thinking about installing a new garage door, contact your friends at Metro Garage Doors. We can answer all your questions about traditional and sliding garage doors. We’re ready to help you find the best door to meet your needs. Contact us today to speak a member of the Metro Garage Doors team.
