Tips

Check out these incredible garage door tips and learn how to keep a safe home and well-maintained garage doors

Paint can protect your door

The use of paint on your wooden garage door is necessary. Not only does it add to your door’s aesthetic appeal, it also protects it from scratches. Be sure to paint all over the door, including the inner and outer sides of the door.

Keep your remotes safe

It is important that you keep your garage door opener’s remote control in a spot where others cannot easily reach. Losing the remote will deprive you of your ability to control your door, which can be very dangerous to everyone in the home. Keep it away from children, who are likely to play with the remote, and from thieves, who intend to use your remote to compromise your home’s security.

Stopping garage door rust

As time goes by, the elements often have their way with garage doors, which means that eventually it will begin to rust. In order to stop this (or at least keep it from happening too soon), you can routinely paint your garage door to keep it from rusting. Surprisingly, car wax is effective as well.
