How to modernize your garage door

• As far as the mechanical garage door parts are concerned, their replacement will be the guarantee of your safety. You might wonder why replacing components is part of the modernization of your system. Well, mechanical parts might not get synchronized with the speed of the electric opener but their materials surely improve over the years. Don't forget that till recently we only had to choose between steel and steel. Nowadays and due to the fact that untreated steel eventually corrodes, manufacturers produce parts of stainless steel.

Not all parts should be made of galvanized materials. For example, it's best to stick to the good, old oil tempered garage door springs instead of getting galvanized ones, which break down easier. Though, the appearance of tempered springs has improved, too. Other parts, like rollers for example, will be perfect in stainless steel and will last longer. So, the system will be comprised of better looking and stronger materials and will be safer.

• Don't forget that a modern system will be incomplete without the installation of modern panels. Go for glass doors! They are the optimum solution!
