Q: How do you know when your garage door needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>With good maintenance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-replace-your-garage-door.htm">garage doors can last</a> for 15 to 30 years. You might consider a replacement if yours is approaching that age and struggling to work properly. For instance, if your garage door is slow to open or close (or doesn&rsquo;t open or close at all) or is loud even after lubricating the parts, you might need a new one. Similarly, if it&rsquo;s sagging, uneven, or has other visual signs of wear and tear, it may be time for an upgrade.</p></div>

Q: How long do garage doors last?

• <div><p>Garage doors generally last between <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on many factors. Your location plays an essential role in your garage door&rsquo;s lifespan&mdash;doors exposed to harsh elements like heavy rain or intense heat might not last as long as those installed in a milder climate. How often you use your garage door also factors into its overall lifespan. Generally, standard garage door springs can withstand 20,000 cycles, whereas tension springs typically last between 5,000 and 10,000.</p></div>

Q: Why do my garage door cables keep coming off?

• <div><p>There are several reasons garage door cables can come off multiple times. The most common reason is that the springs have too much or too little tension and require adjusting. Other causes include track alignment issues that keep the door from operating correctly or smoothly. A damaged winding drum or obstructions in the cable's way can also cause it to come loose. </p></div>

Q: Can you put regular cabinets in the garage?

• <div><p>Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: Is it hard to install a garage door?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, it is difficult to install a garage door. It&rsquo;s a heavy object that poses a danger if it falls. If you are an experienced DIY-er, and you get help from another person with experience with this project, it is possible to install a garage door. However, manual doors are simpler to install than automatic doors because they are lighter and don&rsquo;t require the installation of cables or a motor. It&rsquo;s always best to hire a professional garage door contractor to install these, due to the safety risks involved and to ensure it&rsquo;s done correctly. </p></div>
