How to Choose the Right Garage Door

Investing in a new garage door is like choosing the perfect pup—it’s a big decision, and not all options are created equal. To make sure you’re getting the best value for your home, here are three key things to consider before bringing a new garage door into your pack:

When picking out a new garage door, you want something as reliable and strong as a well-trained pup. At Mr. Goldie, we only fetch the best brands so our clients get products that are tough and built to last. But beyond choosing a trusted brand, we also recommend insulated garage doors, like a cozy doghouse, to keep your space comfortable year-round. Insulated doors help regulate temperatures, keeping your garage cool in the summer and warm in the winter—just like a pup’s thick coat, offering protection no matter the season.

When we install a new garage door, we are providing peace of mind for our clients. A new garage door is safer, stronger and quieter than the old one.

Can you relate to this situation? .....late for work, and then, out of nowhere, your garage door malfunctions. The garage door comes off the rollers, and you're stuck, just when you need to leave the most. If you've experienced something similar, you're not alone. The good news is that, with proper maintenance, you can avoid these emergency situations. Follow these 3 easy steps to extend the life of your garage door springs and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Step 1: Lubricate the Garage Door Springs Regularly One of the easiest ways to prolong the life of your garage door springs is regular lubrication. Apply a silicone-based lubricant every 6 months (or as needed) to prevent rust, corrosion, and excessive friction. Regular lubrication will help your garage door operate smoothly and efficiently, reducing the chances of malfunction. Step 2: Check and Balance Your Garage Door A garage door that's properly balanced is key to ensuring your springs don’t wear out too quickly. If your door is unbalanced, it puts extra strain on the springs, causing them to fail prematurely. To check the balance, manually lift your door halfway. If it doesn’t stay in place, it’s time to have it adjusted. Having a professional technician balance your garage door will ensure the springs last longer and that your door opens and closes with ease. Step 3: Schedule Regular Professional Garage Door Inspections Regular professional maintenance is essential to the longevity of your garage door springs. A trained technician can identify potential issues, make necessary adjustments, and ensure everything is working properly. Scheduling inspections at least once a year can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. But if you wouldn’t know a garage door spring from a wrench, don’t stress.
