Side Hinged Garage Doors: A Trendy and Secure Home Improvement your family will love
We see the news everyday. Home ransacked and burgled. Point of entry? The old fashioned overhead garage door. But is there another option? The industry has heard you loud and clear, and we are proud to offer these attractive updates to your family. With several manufacturers now making double plated steel doors (measuring up to 42 mm thick), there is a side hinged garage door solution that is right for every design aesthetic. Side hinged doors are gaining popularity because they are quiet, easy to maintain and add security and square footage to your floor space.
Security
Because a side hinged garage door opens outward like a barn door, the border remains flush with the floor and is nearly impossible to pry up or outward. Most models come with one partition having an external security lip that allows owners to secure the door from the outside quickly and efficiently with a standard padlock and chain setup if desired.
The hinge mechanism themselves are installed inside the garage, so thieves cannot remove any pins or leverage the garage in this manner. The easy-to-use hydraulic mechanism is nearly soundless, a much more quiet alternative to the noisy and cumbersome overhead track door.
Aesthetics
Your home is your castle, and every castle needs a gorgeous drawbridge. There are literally 100s of options in finishes, color choices, and patinas to make your home talk of the cul de sac. These doors are also exceptionally easy to maintain, as they swing outward on hydraulic assisted hinges and need little maintenance to the closed mechanical system.
Cost
Now the important question. How much do these amazing products typically cost? Homeowners can expect a purchase price of between 700 and 1500 USD. Installation and labor may be an extra charge, but these are highly affordable and attractive options to update your home’s exterior.
You also gain internal square footage, since you don’t have to worry about keeping tracks free of stored items and ceiling space clearances. This adds value to your home for future resale as prospective buyers always welcome more space.
