Garage doors play an important role in security and safety. Whether your garage door was made for your personal property or commercial property, they serve the same purpose to protect and secure. Garage doors can be opened by an electric motor, such as a garage door opener, or they can be opened manually by physically opening or closing them. Remote-controlled garages add convenience as well as safety and security. Large garages can store a variety of products such as automobiles, tractors, or machines. On the other hand, small garages often use a single panel that tilts to open and close the garage. Larger garages are simply made with several jointed panels. In some cases, some garage doors slide or swing out horizontally.
Some of the most common materials that garages are made out of include metal (steel/aluminum), wood garage doors, and other materials such as vinyl or fiberglass. A typical version of a garage includes a one-panel open but today, garages have expanded their areas of use and have grown to fit bigger objects in them. These new versions consist of several panels that are hinged together and that roll along a track steered by rollers. In terms of the weight of a garage door, it could be anywhere from 400lb or more. Since these are heavy weights, a professional torsion spring system is typically in place.
