Having a functional and secure garage door is essential for most homeowners. But many overlook the fact that there are many accessories available on the market today which can enhance their garage door and improve its overall look and functionality.
Keyless Entry or Keypad
For added convenience, you can install a keyless entry system or keypad on your garage door. This allows you to open and close your garage door with a custom combination code, instead of having to use a remote control or manually entering the code from outside. Keypads come in various looks and styles, with some featuring flip covers to protect the numbers or symbols from bad weather, as well as night-time visibility features for ease of use after dark.
Garage Door Remotes
A convenient accessory is the addition of a garage door remote. These remotes are designed to open your garage door remotely, allowing drivers to access the garage without needing to enter a code from outside. Garage door remotes usually slide into your sun visor, making them always ready for opening and closing the door quickly and easily.
Garage Door Hardware
Hardware such as hinges, handles and locks are an integral part of any successful garage door setup. Choosing hardware that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing can be an easy way to accessorize your garage door and improve its look and usability. Locks provide extra security measures to protect you, your home’s inhabitants, possessions and even increase the value of your property – it’s important that these locks are specifically compatible with your system; automatic doors require their own type of lock while manual doors need something different altogether. Handles also add an attractive element to any home design but make sure they’re robust enough for everyday use – heavier duty handles tend to last longer than standard ones over time. Finally, while not all doors have actual hinges – those that do will benefit from quiet operation models in order for them not to distract from the aesthetic appeal of any property.
