Ultra-Cool Garage Door Features You Can Get From A Garage Door Company
Why should you hire a garage door company versus going to a home improvement store and buying a garage door and installing it yourself? Hmmm...that is a good question. Maybe you should know more about all of the ultra-cool garage door features you can get from a company that you cannot really get from a home improvement store. Some features you could buy from the store, but then there is always the problem of proper installation.
Just to give you some idea of what you are missing, there are several features you might really enjoy. Some are even quite convenient and efficient. They are as follows.
Walk-Thru Garage Doors
Open the garage door. Close the garage door. Walk out the side door. Close the side door. Repeat in reverse to leave your home. Make sure all doors are locked at night. Irritating, is it not?
Skip that business and install a walk-thru garage door instead. Garage door companies offer a unique sort of garage door that has a "hidden" door within the garage door itself. If and when you do not want to open the actual garage door, you just step through the door within the door and come and go from the garage that way. The door within a door also moves freely up and down with the opening of the larger door because the door-within-a-door is segmented to match the panels of the garage door itself!
That is not only quite clever, but also doubly safe. You lock the big door, and never have to worry about locking the side door because there is no side door. In fact, you can even remove the side door you have and turn that into an extension of the garage wall for extra storage.
The "Smart" Garage Door Opener
Smart technology is everywhere. People talk about "smart" homes, but they fail to mention that you can have a "smart" garage too. WiFi garage door openers exist, and you can have one installed on your garage door. Your smartphone doubles as your remote when you lose the remotes to your garage door.
If you forgot to close the garage door because you were in a hurry to leave, just open the garage door app on your phone and close it. If you need to open the door for your gardener, you do not have to come all the way home. Open it at the office, and close it when your gardener texts you that he/she is finished.
Major Security Features
If you own a car of extreme value, you do not want it to disappear from your garage. That issue is solved when you buy an ultra-secure garage door from a garage door company that makes them. Voice-activated and voice recognition features, thumb print locks, and even coded keypads are available. Your '67 'Stang or Maserati is locked down tight every time you leave home.
Lifetime Warranties and Service
If you buy any sort of garage door from a home improvement store, you get a limited warranty. The store outsources installation to local contractors, which means you cannot complain about the service to the store and get better service. However, if you buy direct from a garage door company that provides any of the above doors and features, many of these companies offer a lifetime warranty and service any time you need it. When and if you have a complaint, you can take it straight to the company that sold you your unique garage door. They will send a technician out from their company (not an outsourced contractor) to see and repair your door and/or opener.
