In most cases, a garage door is used as the main entry to a garage, and this is because it is one of the most functional and necessary parts of the building. It can act as a deterrent to would-be intruders and make a stylistic statement about the rest of your property.
In general, garage doors can be broken down into five basic types. Every maker of garage doors adheres to these five essential categories.
This type opens outward, then rises and retracts back into the garage ceiling. The term “retractable door” describes this type of entrance. The door pivot points are located at the top of the door, making it impossible to park immediately next to the entrance.
A canopy door opens by swinging outward and then sliding up and into the garage ceiling. As a result, the garage door is only partially closed. The door’s security is heightened by its pivot points’ location near the floor.
Doors that separate into sections Garage Door :
Multiple panels make up the sectional, and they’re hinged together across the door’s width. They are designed to be fastened to the masonry of the garage’s rear wall. It opens by first travelling upwards vertically and then backwards into the space between the ceiling and the wall. To a greater extent, and with more security, sectional doors keep out the weather and keep people in.
Roller Doors:
However, these doors roll up into the garage’s ceiling to provide the illusion of a continuous curtain. They are also fastened to the brickwork on the garage’s exterior’s reverse side. So, as the name implies, these move in a vertical upward manner. The security and safety also provided by these entrances is second to none. Construction materials range from steel and aluminium to insulated plastic.
Doors that open on the side:
Now, steel, wood, and glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) are all materials used to create side hinged doors. There’s something quaint and retro about these doors’ outward swing and wooden frame. Hence, there must be adequate clearance for these doors to open smoothly. But both top and bottom bolts are necessary for adequate door security.
So, maintaining working garage doors is essential to the smooth operation of your garage. Think about the door’s durability, security features, and lifespan while shopping for a garage door.
