3 Tips to Improve a Garage Door with Decorative Hardware
Filed under: Garage Doors
Decorative hardware is a great option if you are looking for a way to improve the appearance of your garage door. But, it is important that you consider the overall appearance and function of the door before making any changes. The best thing that you can do is talk to an experienced garage door expert for personalized recommendations.
Here are a few tips to help you make the right decision for your garage:
1. Renovating the Garage Door vs. New Installation
Adding decorative hardware and a fresh coat of paint can be a great way to give your garage door a facelift. But, don’t waste your money on these things if the door needs to be replaced. A door that is in good condition can be renovated with these changes. On the other hand, a broken, old door should just be replaced if you want to maximize your investment.
2. Commit Before Drilling the Screw Holes
When you install the decorative hardware, it will require screw holes to be drilled into your door. The screws will hold the hardware in place, but you will leave a hole behind if you need to move the hardware later. So, it is important that you are careful with measurements and placement to ensure that the hardware will look good after installation.
3. Pay Attention to the Function of the Garage Door
Just because the hardware looks good, doesn’t mean that it will work with the function of the garage door. For example, avoid hardware that is too big and bulky. If there is potential for the hardware to get caught when the door is moving up and down, then it could potentially damage your garage door or the door opener. You can avoid these problems by consulting with an experienced garage door installation team for custom recommendations.
These small details are a great way to personalize your home and make it stand out in the neighborhood. If you are ready to upgrade the curb appeal of your property, then we invite you to call us: Precision Garage Door Service at (951) 331-3254
