Overhead Garage Door Characteristics

If you know what you're looking for in a quality door, residential garage door installation can be a rewarding project. Through spending a little more in a higher-end door, you can reduce the amount of maintenance of your overhead garage door in OKC. Below are the features you must look for in a garage door to make the best choice. When you're ready to install your door, Door Power is here to help you from beginning to end.

Good Material

Wood doors are attractive, and the northerners in Oklahoma City have a timeless appeal. If you buy a wood door, you have to plan to spend some money. Because of their exposure to the elements and the way they open and close, cheap wood doors appear to crack and warp. We advise to go with Cedar or Redwood. Both have high humidity and extreme temperatures endurance.

Good Insulation

We found that polyurethane isolation has the highest R-value (capable of binding air and moisture) than any other type of isolation if you plan to purchase an isolated door. Look for R-Value isolation from R-9 to R-18. This is your best investment if you try to protect everything in your garage.

Strong Springs

You will need garage door springs that can handle a high rate of activity when you plan to use your garage daily. For average, three times a day most households use their garage doors. This opens and closes a total of six times. If that is the case with your family, in five years' time we can install coiled torsion springs that can withstand 20,000 cycles. This should be a lot of your lifestyle.

Heavy-Duty Garage Door Opener

We have become accustomed to buying flimsy door openers to replace us more than is expected. We suggest you get a heavy-duty opener for only a few bucks more. We mean a heavy-duty reliable car viewing clip, unbreakable buttons, and a longer battery life. You don't have to buy a bunch of apps for an opener. Your garage door has only two features, after all. Sacrifice the reliability features. You're going to be happy you did.

Modern Security Features

The safety of your overhead garage door in OKC is critical with cars, equipment or inventory stored inside the garage. New garage doors have many safety features that make it much harder to crack compared to older garage doors. Features such as remote lockouts and rolling safety codes help to keep unauthorized persons outside your garages. An automated log of when and through which the door is opened is also suitable for safety records.

In addition to security, the commercial garage doors should also be concerned with health. These doors are large and heavy, which means that in case of fault they can do serious damage. Modern safety features ensure the safety of the user and prevent surrounding objects from being damaged. Motion sensors and auto-reverse features, for instance, ensure that a garage door automatically closes when something is on its way. This prevents people or cars from being crushed under the garage door.
