Why the New Year Is a Good Time to Change Your Garage Door

How is the new year treating you so far? Hopefully you are all keeping up with those new year’s resolutions! If one of your resolutions was to complete those odd jobs you spent all of December putting off, this weekend is a great opportunity to get started – beginning with replacing your old garage door.


Having a modern, fully functioning garage door ensures that levels of safety and security are not compromised. Like most items in the home, there comes a point where every garage door should be replaced and here are just a selection of the benefits that can come from making the decision to change yours: 

  • Make Your Property More Secure: A burglar will always seek to enter your property by the easiest route possible – after all, they are less likely to get caught this way. Older garage doors can be identified as an easy target for burglars and potentially compromise the security of your home. Many of our garage doors come equipped with sensors that trigger an alarm in the event that excessive pressure is placed on the door or an attempt is made to open it with force from underneath.
  • Keeping Your Family Safe: At first glance, you may think that your old garage door is working correctly. However, there could be a serious safety fault that you are not aware of. Our modern automated garage doors incorporate a range of safety features, ensuring that should there be an obstruction as your door closes, it will stop and avoid causing damage or harm. Why take the risk? Be proactive and replace your garage door with a new, safer one.
  • Add Value to Your Home: If you have plans to move home in the near future, carrying out all those little odds jobs that you have been putting off could help to increase the value of your property – one of those could be replacing your old garage door. Doing so not only allows you enjoy the benefits of an automated garage door for the time you have left in the property, but will also help to improve its ‘curb appeal’ when the time comes to sell.
  • Improve the Look of Your Home: One of the first things that people will see as they approach your home is its exterior – and this includes your garage door. If your garage door has seen better days, it can impact upon the overall appearance of your home. With a modern automated garage door, you can give your home the new look it deserves.
  • Create Additional Storage Space: Those people who use their garage as a place to store their vehicle are now in the minority. It is very common for families to use their garage as additional storage space – something that could cause damage to your possessions if done with an old garage door in situ. Our modern roller garage doors can help you to maximise the space you have available.

Our showroom is filled with working examples of many of the garage doors that we supply. So, if you would like more information about any of these products, please do not hesitate to call in and see us.
